    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rose on intervention because it seemed the Hon. Member who tabled the report was trying to debate his own report. I thought it was out of order. Nonetheless, I was also tickled when Hon. Kamanda was jittery in mentioning the word “corruption”. He tried to bring out the word “corruption” very many times and it was not coming out. He seems to be contradicting himself. In yesterday and today’s daily newspapers, he seems to take a very tribal angle with people who are condemning corruption. It is ironical that Hon. Kamanda can treat the nation and Parliament to a subject on corruption this afternoon. If police officers are corrupt, you know who else is corrupt. I want to plead with the Committee to look at the law properly on the issue of traffic police before it tables a report. At the end of the term of the last Parliament, we outlawed the so-called traffic police. There is nobody called “Traffic Police” in law. From the Floor of this House, I would even encourage Kenyans to ignore them because there is nobody called “Traffic Police” in law. It is just a corruption ring in the Police Department. So, this Committee can help this House by doing a proper report and letting Kenyans know that we are dealing with a rogue police department which is a creation of somebody in the police force. As it were, there is no Traffic Department. Thank you."
