    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me start by thanking you for the opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion and note that the departmental Committee on National Security and Provincial Administration has made very good recommendations. The Commission that is intended to be formed is supposed to address serious concerns that have been raised in this country time and again. The police have been accused of harassing innocent citizens and even intimidation and brutal attacks on the population has been noted. Therefore, this Commission that is intended will address those very serious concerns. It is possible that even the faith the Kenyan people have in our police force is dwindling and almost coming to an end. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the conclusive recommendations the Committee was able to establish that the intended Chair as per their Report was not qualified to be a Judge. This is a mandatory requirement and I think there was serious ommission on that aspect. It is also notable that the same Chair did not have the proffessional skills that are necessary to reform the current police force nor does he have proven experience in the discharge of his responsibility. The entire Committee was unconstitutionally selected and this deviates from the spirit of the new Constitution. This would be a total disgrace to the Kenyan people. Therefore, it is important that this Committee is disbanded immediately."
