    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I want, from the outset, to thank the Committee Chaired by Sen. Haji for the good work it has done. I have heard comments from my colleagues with regard to the fact that this nominee is not qualified for this position because he has not served in the police force for a certain length of time. What are the qualifications of one to be appointed to the position of Inspector- General of Police? One is that he must be a citizen of Kenya; he must hold a degree from a university recognised in Kenya. He must have a distinguished career in his respective fields; meet the requirements of Chapter 6 of the Constitution and fundamentally the last one which says; one must have served in a senior management position for, at least, 15 years and must have knowledge and experience in matters relating to any of the following disciplines: One, criminal justice, policy development and implementation. Three, he must have knowledge in finance and public administration, strategic management, security, law, sociology and Government. There is no law that says one must have served for at least 15 years in the service or one must have been a policeman. Therefore, as we contribute to this Motion, it is good to know the basic qualifications for one to hold that position. Mr. Boinett, after serving in the police force joined the National Intelligence Service where he served in various portfolios. He was seconded to various countries leading the intelligence team. When it comes to leadership, he has been a leader because he was a leader in the countries he was serving. Mr. Boinnet is bringing in a lot of experience---"
