    "content": "Is he up to the challenge? I want to answer the question in the affirmative. He is well versed with the structures of the Office of the DPP and with the needs and challenges that, that office face. He is an advocate of the High Court of Kenya. If you look at his background as an investigator vis-a-vis the Office of the DPP, most of the cases that are handled by the DPP are usually lost at the investigative stage. This means that his background in investigation will come in very handy to ensure that the rate of conviction of criminals in this country will go up. Currently, it is at about 50 per cent and we want to see that go up to about 90 per cent. The cases are lost because of shoddy investigations. We also realise that part of the reason is because of understaffing of the Office of the DPP. He stated categorically that he has a strategy to ensure that there is retention of officers who are employed in that office by ensuring that they are well remunerated."
