    "content": "Having given those observations, I want to reiterate that the petitioners had prayed that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, resolves that the Petition discloses grounds for removal of Major (Rtd.) General Shadrack Muiu under Article 251(c) of the Constitution and recommends to His Excellency the President to form a tribunal to investigate the Commissioner. In response to the above prayers, the Committee made the following recommendations:- (1) That, it finds the Petition has disclosed grounds for the removal of Major (Rtd.) Shadrack Muiu Mutia as a Commissioner to the National Police Service Commission as set out in Article 251(1)(b) and (c) of the Constitution. (2) That, the President appoints a tribunal in accordance to Articles 251(4) (b) and 251(5) of the Constitution, to investigate the matter expeditiously, report on the facts and make a binding recommendation to the President. (3) That, the President expeditiously initiates the process of replacement of the other deceased Commissioner Esther Chui-Colombini as required under Section 9 of the National Police Service Commission Act (No. 30 of 2011), in accordance with Section 6 of the Act. Before I conclude, I would like to inform Hon. Members that we have tried even informally to get in touch with this Commissioner. This is because had it not been for what is indicated here by the petitioners and the Commission, Major (Rtd.) Muiu served this country with a rare distinction when he was the Commandant in the Administration Police. He was an officer who had strict discipline. He was very effective. He was the one behind all the reforms of the current Administration Police. In 1982, Major (Rtd.) Muiu, with the help of other military officers, General Mahamud, Maj. Cheboi and others fought hard to quell the coup we had in this country. As we consider this matter, I would like to remind Members that this is an officer who did this country proud. As a Committee, we are recommending that he is relieved of his duties. That a tribunal be formed to investigate the matter so that the Commission will get a commissioner who will represent the interest of the Administration Police so that the reforms within the police sector as recommended by Ransley can go on. Lastly, on behalf of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security and pursuant to Standing Order No. 230, it is my pleasant duty to table in this House the Report of the Committee on its consideration of the Petition by Mr. Katee, on behalf of Juhudi Community Support Centre seeking the removal of Major (Rtd.) Muiu Shadrack Mutia as the Commissioner of the National Police Service Commission. I beg to table the Report and I would like to request Hon. Alice Wahome to second."
