    "content": "Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker. The NPS is important in the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government because they deal with internal security, matters of crime and protection of people’s lives and property. All the units within the NPS, including the General Service Unit (GSU) and the Administration Police (AP), should be put together. An intelligence unit should be introduced. As things stand now, we do not have an investigation department. The National Intelligence Service (NIS) is independent. The police can only get intelligence from NIS. An internal intelligence wing in the NPS is very necessary for prevention of crimes and for ensuring that they pursue sources of crime. It is a good idea to introduce the intelligence wing within the NPS, and to harmonise the different formations to ensure that there are no contradictions. They can work together to ensure that they protect the people of Kenya. We do not want to hear stories where formations fight over command. Such issues must be clearly harmonised to make sure that Kenyans enjoy protection and quality services from the police. The police should get further training to enable them relate well with wananchi as they enforce the law. With those few remarks, I want to thank you for adding me a minute and ask Members to look at the various pieces of legislations that are lined up for amendment in this Bill to ensure that only good laws are passed."
