    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Kimaiyo has many qualities which is very rare in many people and in the first place, he is a very religious person. Secondly, he is very humble and a quiet person. Thirdly, he is an honest and hardworking officer. During his career, he has dedicated himself to the service of this country and it is something to appreciate that Kenyans now have matured to know qualities of people who have served this country for many years because on many occasions, you will find that there is never a good Kenyan. A Kenyan can do donkey work as service for this country but he is never recognized. Only yesterday, we recognized the good job that was done by His Excellency the President but I want to appeal that while Mr. Kimaiyo has all those qualities and I am sure he can deliver, he needs the support of Kenyans and Kenyans must work hard to make sure that we help him to be able to do what is expected of him. Hon. Members have spoken here and said that he should be given resources. Of course, without resources, the police cannot deliver. I also want to appeal to all the police officers – all rank and file, to give Mr. Kimaiyo the support for him to be able to do what we expect him to do and what this nation is striving for, which is security. He can only do all these things when both the citizens and the assistants working with him give him the necessary support. By extension also, all the other officers who have been nominated like him are dedicated and hardworking people with whom I have very closely worked during my time as a civil servant and recently as Minister in charge of Internal Security and Defence. With those remarks, I wish him God’s success and the help of everybody."
