    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to add my voice to this very important nomination of Mr. Mutyambai. Much has been said by hon. Senators. However, I would like to add to what they have said. We are discussing a very important office. We all know the history of police service in Kenya. Currently, Kenyans have no faith in what policemen and women do. That is why we have a very poor working relationship between the police and the public. Many people have no faith in the police and cannot go to the police station because of the mistreatment they receive from them. Therefore, as I support the nomination of Mr. Mutyambai, I suggest the following so that when he assumes office, he can consider doing some few things that can reduce the burden that Kenyans are facing at the moment. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have touched on the poor relationship between the public and the police officers. This needs to be worked on, because if we do not do that, there is no way we can have a cohesive society where we all work together. The other area is the living conditions of our police officers, which has been mentioned by almost all Senators. A person cannot offer what he or she does not have. Our police officers live in very poor conditions; they are paid poor salaries and have poor working conditions. 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."
