    "content": "The job specifications and descriptions have been given and I have no doubt in my mind that Douglas Kanja fits in that by character, experience and identification. We have witnessed a lot of security issues in this nation. We need somebody who is really empathetic in character, a listener, somebody who is able to identify himself with the people that he is leading. One of the greatest problems that we have in the police leadership in this country is to have somebody at the top who has no clue of what the constables are going through out there. The security organs led from the police force have no infrastructure. Some of them have very funny looking uniforms. Some of them do not even have weapons and are supposed to be police officers. I believe that rising from a police constable in 1985 to date, 39 years, that person can very easily identify himself with the personnel that he is leading. The way some of the staff operate is because somebody who is on top there has no empathy. He does not think about those people. I believe that, that person has a lot of discipline. He has manifested himself, shown leadership and shown that he can see what other people are seeing. More so, we need somebody who is able to listen to the members of the public, and that is Douglas Kanja. Personally, I have had a work experience with Douglas Kanja. You know I border Isiolo and Laikipia where cattle rustling is rampant, but I have seen Mr. Douglas Kanja in action in uniform himself. So, I join my colleagues by saying that, that is the only person I have seen in the recent past... I have my experience with the three former Inspector-Generals and I do not want to repeat that. But I believe the best man is now about to be confirmed as the Inspector- General of Police. I thank you."
