    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to comment that, firstly, I oppose the amendment and support the proposal by the Attorney-General. I want to say this: Conferring police powers on the KACC does not mean that we are taking the powers from the police. We are merely enabling the Commission to have the same powers to summon a suspect to come before them without having to go to court to get the court to order that suspect. To argue that you cannot confer police powers on a non-constitutional body is not right, because the police are not a constitutional body and police powers have already been conferred on the KRA, the Immigration Department, local authorities and even the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). I beg to support the Attorney-General's amendment and oppose the Committee's amendment."
