    "content": "Under the law, there is nothing stopping any civilian from becoming the Inspector- General of Police. If this was Sen. Murkomen, I would vote with my eyes closed. In this particular one, I disagree and oppose not for personal reasons but because Kenya deserves better. If not better, then the process of appointment should have even been more transparent so that Kenyans who deserve these positions - the last word is the President – are given an opportunity including those in the police force. They would have participated in this process in an open and accountable manner. Finally, Mr. Speaker, Sir, days move very fast. We are just about to start campaigning for the next General Election. Every time - I remember when we are talking about the leadership in the security forces and I look at my friends on the other side, those names were being called, they wanted to close their eyes. They were ashamed because they thought we had not made the right decision. However, in this particular one, I beg you, if we want one indivisible nation called Kenya and security to be where it should be, we should decline this appointment and ask the President to bring another name which has been competitively sought in an open and transparent manner. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to oppose."
