    "content": "I want to say that Trans Nzoia, as we all know, is a cosmopolitan county. I want to know the formula that was used to arrive at the figures. When we meet the National Police Service Commission on Monday or Thursday, we will ask them the criteria they used so that if there are any issues of discrimination then those issues will be addressed. Normally, when you are using quotas you must use demography and those other parameters. So, we want to know the parameters that were used. I agree with hon. Wamalwa on this. On the issue of the reporting date, I think that has been addressed. Hon. Gichigi wanted to know whether there is an independent authority. So far, the team that is investigating comprises of members of the National Police Service Commission and members of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). We have members of the Commission and persons who are not members of that Commission. It is up to the House to see what will happen. When we meet them on Monday or Tuesday we will demand that we have an independent board that will deal with this matter and not the same people who participated in the recruitment exercise. Hon. Deputy Speaker, we will get a report from the Independent Police Oversight Authority (IPOA) about what transpired. We will also get a report from the EACC and the Director of Criminal Investigations. We have also requested the National Intelligence Service (NIS) to come up with a report. So, we will use the four reports to arrive at a conclusion and decide on the areas where the exercise will be nullified and those where it will not be nullified. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
