    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Before I reply, I have one or two things to add. I take this opportunity to sincerely thank all Members from both sides of this House for debating this Motion with objectivity, and for the overwhelming support that they have given it. It is important to note that over 30 Members of this House who have contributed to this Motion have all given their personal testimonies regarding Mr Kanja. They have said that he is a person who is always ready to listen, a team player, one who is committed to the Service and without a doubt, a man that we can trust to bring the needed reforms in the Police Service. Hon. Speaker, that should be a call to all of us as leaders, when given an opportunity to serve, we should always do it diligently and with a lot of zeal such that when a time for scrutiny comes there will be too many accolades regarding our time of serving the country. There are two critical things that have come up. You have managed to address the issue of his age. It was raised earlier by our very senior Member over there, and Hon. Wanjala too. I do not want to repeat it since you have said it very well. Hon. Otiende raised the issue of temporary absence of the Inspector-General. Section 16 (Cap. 80) is very clear that the President on recommendation of the Commission may appoint one of the Deputy Inspector-Generals to act as the Inspector-General for the period not exceeding three months. That confirms that the position of the Acting Inspector-General is in order. With those remarks, I call upon this House to approve the appointment of Mr Douglas Kanja to this position. I reply. Thank you."
