    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, if I may continue, Mr. Boinett has a lot of experience to run the office of the IG. I would request the House to look clearly at the Report of the Committee. We have done due diligence in terms of going through all the legislations and the Constitution to make sure that he meets the requirements that have been provided for within the Constitution and also the legislations that are available. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to add that Mr. Boinett was cleared by relevant authorities as per requirement for appointment to this position. What really made me to conclude that Mr. Boinett really fits the position of IG - one of the requirements is command and control. This is an area that we really have a lot of challenge with, especially in terms of what happened at the Westgate Mall where the relevant security agencies were having challenges. What he said when he appeared before us was that he will be able to put together all the relevant agencies and bring everybody on board, including Members of the public to make sure that he has control of the security of this country. People have raised the issue about Mr. Boinett being a very polite person to be able to run that particular office. That should not be an issue because being polite does not mean that he does not have capacity. I would like to finally conclude that we need to give Mr. Boinett a chance to be able to run this particular office. He has given us the assurance that he will be able to prove to this country that he has dealt with the issues and challenges that are being faced in this country. Thank you."
