    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the establishment of the Independent Policing Oversight Authority is intended to achieve the following objectives:- 1. To provide civilians oversight over the work of the police. Hold police accountable to the public. 2. To give effect to the provisions of Article 244 of the Constitution that police shall strive for professionalism and discipline and shall promote and practise transparency and accountability. 3. To promote the fundamental rights and freedoms contemplated in the Constitution in respect of policing. The Bill has been subjected to wider and intensive public consultation and validation by a wide spectrum of stakeholders. The Bill also benefited from input from some Members of this House during a workshop for the Parliamentary Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs; Administration and National Security; and Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee held in Mombasa sometimes on 19th November, 2011."
