    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Motion. If this House considers the appointment of Mr. David Kimaiyo, it will restore the respect of Kenyans to the police force. The fact that he is also an insider and has a lot of respect within the force, I believe he is going to reform the Police Service. One of the key things that are ailing the police force is dealing with impunity. Insecurity is a problem, but it is about dealing with impunity, abuse of office, disregard of the rule of law, the rights of representation and separation of powers. I am on record in this House making a Personal Statement about my illegal arrest and confinement by some officers of the police force last month. This is the kind of illegalities and abuse of office that we hope that Mr. Kimaiyo, once he takes up the role of the Inspector-General of the Police, is going to change. I hope that even the deputies who are going to be appointed to assist him will also be people who have not abused office. I have issues with some of them who have been involved in abuse of their offices."
