    "content": "If you have a problem of insecurity in your particular county, you actually do not know who to call, whether it is the county commander in charge of regular police or the county commander in-charge of the AP. That has been cured once and for all in this law. We have given powers to the President and this is reflected in Article 245. This Article says that the President has powers to appoint the Inspector-General of Police and recommend the name to Parliament, so that Parliament can approve it within 14 days. That has been done. The removal of security of tenure of the Inspector-General of Police, the two deputies of the Inspector-General has been done to ensure that whoever is in charge, as the President, has powers to deal with an Inspector-General, or the deputies if they do not deliver on their mandate. With the kind of security of tenure they have, they can actually choose to obey orders or not. Hon. Speaker, we have also given the Inspector-General of Police some delegated powers, so that he can manage and control officers under him without any hindrance."
