    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Speaker. I also wish to congratulate hon. Ali for bringing this timely petition. We are in a very difficult period in our country where we have a lot of insecurity issues. It is only fair that we have a proper and fully constituted National Police Service Commission (NPSC), so that at least they fully execute their mandate as enshrined in the Constitution. As we speak, we have problems in the police force. Many police County Commanders are not in their stations. Every time we talk to the county, the police rank and file are not in the station; this could be due to the fight between the various agencies of the police, which are the Kenya Police and the Administration Police; also may be the NPSC is handicapped in doing their functions. We know the police in this country have done a lot of injustices like extrajudicial killings. Two nights ago, I was watching an AlJazeera commentary that was showing how bad extrajudicial killings were happening in Kenya, and our police are involved. It is high time we constituted these commissions; actually it is not only the NPSC. I understand that the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) is not fully constituted. There could be several other commissions where all commissioners are not on board. It is high time even the Kenya National Human Rights Commission (KNHRC) was constituted. It is good that now the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is in place. It is very important that all these commissions are constituted otherwise this is going to be a joke. Police reforms have now stalled. We have big problems with the police reforms. Therefore, it is only fair to start with this NPSC and have it fully constituted, so that they can do their work and save us from this problem. Thank you very much."
