    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, allow me to support this Motion which requires us to approve the nomination of the following Members to the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA), pursuant to the Constitution. First I want to start by saying that the people of Kenya created organs that would help improve governance in this country. One of the organs, apart from the Kenya National Police Commission, was the IPOA. The main responsibility of this oversight authority was to review the conduct and performance of police officers and even to look at the complaints that the people of Kenya register against the police officers. The outgoing commission has had some successes and also some failures. I want to speak first to the nominees. Much as I may admit that I do not know a number of them, there are a few whom I have interacted with and I think are a good pick. Those of us who served with Hon. John Waiganjo in this Parliament, will agree with me that he was a sober, well balanced and a gentleman so to speak. He is not divisive at all and not a hardliner. If there is any good pick that the President has succeeded for the IPOA, it is this nominee. Hon. Waiganjo will not disappoint."
