    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I wish to state that this proposed Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, 2015 seeks to amend various laws, including amending various sections of the National Police Service Act, 2011. These are Sections 10, 13, 17, 29 and 31 and other laws. Therefore, it is very clear that the Government is bringing changes to various laws. This will confuse Kenyans and bring a level of lack of confidence and trust. Our economy is already suffering and the financial sector is having big problems. Amending these various laws is going to cause panic. Honestly, it is already causing panic to some of us. The main issue in changing the police laws is that we are already in a country where the mere mention of the police sends shivers across the population, because the police have been known for harassment, extra-judicial killings, forced disappearances and abuse of human rights.
