    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the appointment of these distinguished Kenyans. I have experience in working with Mr. Kavuludi. He was my Commissioner of Labour during the most difficult time when there were wild strikes after NARC took over the Government. I worked with him and we were able to address issues. In terms of integrity and capability, Mr. Kavuludi is excellent. Mr. Murshid was also my chairman of CDF in Mvita and he did a great job in Mvita. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also think we need to reform the police force in totality. Giving it equipment and recruiting more policemen is not enough. We need to give it technology. I will give an example. I lost my iphone on the beach. I went back to my ipad and searched for i-finder. I tracked the thief to his house. I picked a police officer and took him to the house and he found the thief dismantling the phone. Such technology is lacking in the police force. The thief thought I was a witch, and had used some juju to catch him. The policeman also wondered how I had done it. So, technology is key in training our police force even on holding the gun. Recently during the teachers’ strike, we also saw a policeman running behind a teacher and suddenly the gun fell and blew up."
