    "content": "The current Minister of Interior and Coordination of National Government, Hon. Matiang’i, men and women in the National Police Service Commission and the commanders should now develop good rapport with the men and women we are going to approve here. If you look at the CVs of all these people, they are all qualified to hold the positions. So, IPOA should not be a rubber stamp. It must do what it is supposed to do in accordance with their mandate as provided for in the Constitution and in the IPOA Act of 2011. I am sure in remote parts of the country police engage in some excesses which they must individually be culpable of. That is why I raised a point of order when Hon. Emanikor used the privilege of the House to inform us what is in the media. As leaders, we must protect the police. The police force is part and parcel of the Kenyan society. They are our sons and daughters. When they commit an offence outside their jurisdiction, they must be held accountable individually and not as the police force."
