    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute. I rise to support this Special Motion of approving the nominees for appointment as Chairperson and members of IPOA. I can see Hon. Waiganjo, whom I know to be a level- headed, astute and very resourceful man. He will help the Authority. I also want to single out Ms. Praxedes Chepkoech, so that we exempt her from the blanket vilification or castigation that we sometimes tend to do in this House. I want to note the gender balance and other diversities. I appreciate the consideration of our President. Article 244 of the Constitution calls for the highest level of discipline, professionalism, transparency and accountability in the police service. That is why IPOA was established through an Act of Parliament in 2011, Act No.35 of 2011 to provide a civilian oversight over police work. It was established with the expectation that a civilian oversight Authority will promote public trust and confidence in the National Police Service Commission."
