    "content": "Chair of Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission. You will interview people and they will promise heaven. You will then pick somebody and say, “This is now the best candidate that we are bringing on board;” but the moment they occupy those offices, they will never implement any of those things they promised to implement. I hear that Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka, my good friend, schooled with this nominee. I, therefore, hope that he can walk the talk, because if you look at what he is promising, you imagine that he will be transformative. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is the issue of management of road blocks, for example. I do not know the experience of other Senators, but ever since my good friend, the CS for Interior and Coordination of National Government merged the police units, most road blocks are now manned by more than 12 police officers. Just imagine that you are driving from Narok to Nyamira, and you pass road blocks which have 12 armed police officers in each of them. You then wonder who is taking care of security in other areas, if all the police officers have been brought to our roads. I, therefore, hope that the promise he has made – that he will ensure that there is proper management of our road blocks in this country; and that they will be there on a need basis after assessing the levels of threats in particular areas – will come to fruition. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will never find police officers on the roads in developed countries. However, in Kenya, when you drive from Nairobi to Nyamira, you will count more than 12 road blocks. We are getting it wrong in terms of security management. I hope that we can do something on the issues that he has promised."
