    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I rise to support this Bill on several grounds. Firstly, it is giving power to the Inspector General as the leader of the larger human resource, to be able to evaluate the performance of officers and give them the opportunity to move to areas where there is a lot of insecurity. I come from a constituency where a few weeks ago, we had to move in with the Inspector General and the Cabinet Secretary due to a lot of insecurity. The serious issue that was affecting our people in Nandi County is the inability of the National Police Service Commission to move officers to those places. The particular officers who were on the ground were not able to deal with the issues that were affecting the people. Previously, the head of the Police Service used to have a lot of say on promotion and transfer of his officers. We all know that a police force is a command unit. As the commander of any particular unit, you should be able to relate to your officers in the field and the various commands. The National Police Service will be energised. Commanders will have the ability to evaluate junior officers within its ranks. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
