    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to join other Hon. Members who spoke in the morning in support of the nomination of Mr Douglas Kanja as the Inspector-General. All of us have described him as a man of integrity. The members who spoke before me gave his history as one who has risen through the ranks. I want to give my own testimony because I have interacted with him on several occasions especially, when insecurity was at its rise in Laikipia County. I have known him for the last 15 years. I want to testify that he is a man who is gracious enough to allow a conversation and give advice as an elderly citizen of the Republic of Kenya. He will put aside being a professional officer and give advice on how we can secure this country without raising temperatures or dividing our people. I come from a constituency and county which is cosmopolitan and the nominee we are discussing today is known not to be antagonistic. He is a calm and disciplined officer who even if you interact with other officers in all ranks, they will tell you that he has a listening ear which is one of the attributes of a leader and essential for a person who is going to take over as the next Inspector-General of Police. I would like to tell other Members that for the first time, we have seen all of us coming up unanimously the same way we came up, discuss the professionalism of the Attorney-General, where we agree that it is not where you come from, but being a Kenyan, and merit is supposed to be the first thing we consider."
