    "content": "I support this Report by the Committee because we have trusted them that whatever they have written in it is factual and true. So, if they have established that issues of integrity, fairness and academic qualifications are sorted out in all these appointments and well taken care of, then, I have no otherwise, but to support the appointment of these people. We need IPOA to protect the rights of the members of the public so that they are not harassed unnecessarily by the police as they perform their duties, the way we see people in Uganda being harassed. I believe the same should not be extended to this country. We need to ensure that IPOA performs its mandate. I have heard a lot about the previous IPOA commissioners. I do not believe they made so much impact. The last time when they were reporting their performance, I heard something to the effect that they were only able to prosecute one case successfully. Possibly, it is that one on police recruitment. They were not able to prosecute the rest. That means they were toothless. They performed below par and below expectation. We do expect the incoming commissioners to perform better. From the list, I know one person, Hon. Waiganjo. We served together in this Parliament in the 11th Parliament and he is a very good legal mind. He is a very sharp person. He is also a very humble person and a great debater. I believe his presence in the Authority will add value. That is why I support the list."
