    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the appointment of Mr. Douglas Kanja. Many times, in this House, when a committee presents a report, you find yourself disagreeing with some of the findings that are documented in the report. On this occasion, I agree with everything that has been said about Mr. Douglas Kanja. I first got to know Mr. Douglas Kanja through a phone call when he was the GSU Commandant. We never got to meet in person but he assisted me over the phone with a request I had to him. From the credentials of Mr. Kanja, he is a great man we can learn a lot from. Mr. Kanja, the former GSU Commandant, still remained the same man as Deputy Inspector General (DIG). I believe he will continue to be the same man as Inspector-General of Police. There are four areas I want to speak about on Mr. Kanja. Firstly, looking at his career progression, it is my hope and prayer that he will stand up and assist his junior officers in terms of their welfare and growth in the National Police Service, having had the experience of going through the system. Secondly, during the demonstrations, we witnessed a lot of miscommunication from the police service. It is my hope and prayer that with Mr. Kanja as the Inspector-General, he will have more communication with fellow Kenyans by explaining to them what is required in demonstrations and what is not allowed so that, eventually, nobody finds themselves on the wrong side of the law as they exercise their rights.
