    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, it would be sacrilegious of me to start without thanking the Committee. The work that has been done by the Committee led by Hon. Tongoyo and the Committee in the Senate is thorough. We agree that this Joint Committee was the gatekeeper for this plenary as they were preparing this Report. The Report has been prepared so well and so professionally that, even as we are debating it, we are debating a complete Report. I thank and congratulate the Joint Committee of Senate and National Assembly. The National Assembly team was led by Hon. Tongoyo. This Report is covering all the important bases, and I would not want to belabor points that have been made here by Members. If we are seeking professionalism, we have been given proof of how professional that gentleman is. If we are looking for integrity, they have gone to the lengths to ensure that, that man is untainted, fresh, and ready to serve the Republic as an officer of the law. If we are looking for experience, that is a gentleman who joined the force four decades ago, and has had an experience of a lifetime in the force. So, we are not placing an individual from outside to the top of the police ranks; an individual who does not understand how the police service operates. As Mr. Kanja comes to office, his work is cut out for him. There are a lot of issues that need to be addressed in the police service. We are in a new world. We are talking about being in the fourth industrial revolution. We are talking at a time when things like artificial intelligence, robotics, the internet of things, data and analytics are the norm. The point I am making here is that even criminals have improved their techniques of crime. The people who do not mean well for this country have also improved their techniques of crime. We are talking about new avenues of crime. We are talking about cyber crime and cyber attacks. The point I am making here is that the old techniques of policing will not hack it in this day and age. We are in an era where technology becomes an important component of policing. As I say that, Mr. Kanja's work is cut out for him, I mean that we might need to professionalise the police force by introducing new techniques, using available technology ― the technology of today ― to make sure that we incorporate it in policing.
