    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to support this Motion. First of all, I wish to congratulate the Commission, which was assessing these people, for recommending a police officer, who has been in the police force. I must say that my genuine fear was that the police force could have ended up with somebody, who does not really understand what an OCPD does. I am glad that Mr. Kimaiyo is from the police force; I am sure he is going to do a good job. I might also ask this Parliament to try and make the work of the police easier. Today, we have a law, which says, when somebody is arrested, he must be taken to court in 24 hours. We must ask ourselves: What time will the police have had to do proper investigation in 24 hours? That is why a case is taken to court and somebody is given a bond. These kind of laws, I must say, are going to make the work of the police force very difficult. Today, even somebody who has murdered someone is entitled to a bond. When that person leaves the court, he goes and threatens the witness and they fear him. So, these are the things that this Parliament must also address if we want the Inspector- General to do his job."
