    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to support this very important Report. I want to thank Hon. Koinange and his team for a job well done. There are quite a number of issues which the new commission is likely to do to make the police force more useful to Kenyans. Security is a very important aspect of our nation. That is why the docket of security is squarely under the President of the Republic of Kenya. Security of people is prime and very important for business, especially tourism. Considering the fact that we are in a region constantly visited by terrorists, all the arms of Government dealing with security are very important, this commission being one of them. Under this commission, we have the Inspector-General of Police. We also have Cabinet Secretary Matiang’i who is doing a very good job. His Principal Secretary has done very well. The Director of the Directorate of Criminal Investigation, Mr. Kinoti, has also done very well. There is no single homicide case in the country where someone is not arrested within three days and subsequently charged in a court of law. That is efficiency. There is also the fight against corruption. Hence, it is important to have an independent commission to ensure that the work of those people is smooth, effective and eventually serves the nation."
