    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that one of the causes of insecurity in the country is the lack of security of tenure for the Commissioner of Police who is in office under Section 108(1) of the Constitution of Kenya. (b) The powers conferred on the Commissioner of Police under Section 5(1) of the Police Act Cap.84 are adequate. Section 5 of Cap.84 vests authority on the Commissioner of Police to issue administrative orders or regulations for the general control, direction and information in the police force. The Commissioner, therefore, has enough latitude under the law to discharge his duties without fear or favour. (c) Power to appoint the Commissioner of police is vested on the President of the Republic of Kenya under Section 108 of the Constitution of Kenya."
