    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the opportunity. First of all, I thank the Joint Committee of the National Assembly and the Senate for a job well done. I also rise to support the appointment of Mr Douglas Kanja as the Inspector-General of Police. He is a seasoned professional who has grown through the ranks. We expect him to be accepted very well within the police force, unlike in the past where we may have appointed outsiders to that position. I know him very well as a man of good temperament. He will become a very good unifying factor within the police service. The job of the Inspector-General is a tough one. I hope he will see out the implementation of the police reforms that we have been talking about for a very long time. There is a lot of work to be done in fighting corruption within the police force, improving the welfare of officers, ensuring a fair promotion policy, and stopping any extrajudicial actions by police officers. It is a tough job and we wish him well. He has our full support, if approved by this House. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
