    "content": "He has a wealth of experience from what we saw in his papers and from his own presentation. At one point, he was asked how he rose successively through the ranks; it was like nobody else was moving up in the manner in which he was being promoted. We were satisfied that this man rose through the ranks because of his hard work. He is a man who, to us, is committed to duty. As Sen. Sakaja has informed this House, the only friends of the Committee happened to be gentlemen Senators and a Member of Parliament (MP) from the National Assembly from the Kamba community. We told him that we do not want an IG who will be recognised by only his ethnic section, but an IG of Police who will treat everybody equally. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are actually allegations – which maybe Mr. Mutyambai can now start working on – that in some of these departments even within the police, you will find a whole department or floor with just one ethnic tribe of the country. In Mr. Mutyambai, I was particularly happy because I saw inclusivity in this country. This is because when we have a person of this ethnic background in the IG position, another in the Chief Justice (CJ), another one in the President and another in the Deputy President, inclusivity in this country is what will take us forward. I thank the nominating authority – which is the President – for picking on Mr. Mutyambai. In that picking, some of us have started feeling that we are actually serious on issues of inclusivity in this country so that we carry everybody and every region on board and move together as one country. There was a time when there was national dialogue in this country and I do not know whether it happened again. I noted that one because I was personally upset and so was the country. It was a meeting of two sections in this country sitting to distribute jobs The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
