    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. I also want to appreciate the work done by the Committee. This is the first vetting of public officers that the Senate is doing. I want to take this opportunity to appreciate the process that has been developed between the two Houses. We may be faced with this kind of appointment in future and the precedence that has been set is very important. One of the challenges that has faced this country in terms of security is the failure to co-ordinate in terms of using intelligence to ensure that we get quick responses within our country in matters of security. The nominee for the appointment of Inspector-General has worked with the intelligence service in this country. This is where we have failed in this country; not being able to use intelligence information to ensure that we secure our country. With the background in intelligence and also looking at the age and competence of the person, I have no doubt that this is a man who fits the bill and can carry out that responsibility. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to appreciate that, as leaders in this country, we may not agree with the choices proposed by various leaders but let us appreciate that our views are different. When you listen to the discussion by the Minority Leader, I know he is aspiring to be the president of this country, but I want to tell him to hold his horses, he will have his opportunity when Kenyans decide to vote him in."
