    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion and to congratulate Mr. Kimaiyo for having made it. Indeed, I want to congratulate all the other candidates who were on the interview list with him because all those people who appeared were good enough, but only the best can serve this country. We need to look at this appointment. It comes with challenges. It is the first time that we will be experiencing and Kenyans have a lot of expectations. It will be up to this one man to reinforce the expectations of Kenyans in the new Constitution, the new dispensation and in the new Police Service by making it a people-friendly Police Service. I long for the day when I will see policemen in this country not having any guns, walking with people and policing like it happens in the United Kingdom and other civilized worlds and working as a people-friendly Police Service. These are the expectations. In the transport sector, I am looking for his support to sort out the issues within the Traffic Department. We got a new law and I am happy with this appointment. It will take effect in terms of the road blocks and the extortions that have been taking place on the road. All that can be sorted out. So, the expectations are huge and the challenges are many. I wish him well and hope that we shall all be there to support as part of ensuring that the wider reforms get realized. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
