    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to thank the whole Committee and all the Members who went through this process of vetting Mr. Boinet. Today is historic in this Senate because this is our first vote in the House – which is a very delicate one – since we started the Senate. It is also a very historic day when we are now looking forward to again getting a new IG, who is coming in when we are facing a lot of challenges in this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, one of the things that this country has always had is that when we come to such appointments, we look at so many demerits that sometimes the country wonders what it is about ethnicity. But I think, for the Senate, we should not really go down in terms of what ethnicity is because we are the Upper House. We should ensure that we look at a person as a Kenyan first.
