    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to this debate. I must admit from the outset that, really, when I listened to the President’s Speech on the Floor of this House, I was left wondering whether he lives amongst us or he had dropped from some planet on that day. What came out clearly is that the President has lost touch with the reality on the ground. The Jubilee Government has got it wrong on almost every front. Indeed, everything that could go wrong with this Government has gone wrong, starting with insecurity, corruption, you name it. But dwelling on insecurity alone, the President made no mention whatsoever about the police reforms that were meant to bring sanity to the security sector in this country. The President inherited the reforms which were initiated by the old regime. Now, the President and his Government have given lip service to the matter of police reforms at the expense of Kenyan’s welfare. The Police Service Commission was supposed to be given the authority to manage police affairs. Now, this Government has systematically emasculated that important constitutional commission for obvious reasons. The reason is that they want to control the police with ulterior motives. Look at what happened at Westgate. We talked about this thing last week on the Floor of this House. The President himself gave a commitment. The President made a commitment that he was going to institute a judicial commission of inquiry. Once you are a leader, you must be able to deliver on what you promise."
