    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute on this Report. From the outset, I support the Report by this Committee, which I am a Member. Having had a privilege of attending the meeting in which the petitioner presented his Petition, it came out clearly that Major (Rtd.) Shadrack Mutia has taken a long time to report to the Commission and serve Kenyans. Having said that, I also want to appreciate the determination and desire by Commissioner, Major (Rtd.) Mutia to serve the Commission. I also want to congratulate him for the work he has done for this country. The Committee consists of many Members who have worked with Major (Rtd.) Mutia, both in the Government and in the army. Major (Rtd.) Walukhe worked with him and the Members handled this matter with a lot of passion. I wish to reveal to this House that the Committee has also made several efforts. As it stands, there are a few Members whom we think have to reach the Commissioner and maybe convince him to resign, so that he can get his dues. Having said that, the Commission needs to serve Kenyans. The issue of quorum at the Commission is very critical. Looking carefully at the Commissioners, they are six in total from the civilian side; one from each region, the two Deputy Inspector-Generals and the Inspector-General. Right now, the Commission faces a critical challenge of raising quorum. There are six members. This House amended the National Police Service Commission Act and provided that the quorum should be six. The Commission has to raise a quorum of six and yet they are only six Commissioners.
