    "content": "accommodated. We are in a worrying situation where people take the law into their hands, and a lot of innocent people have died because of that. People would shout, “Thief, thief,” and the next person found running is stoned or sometimes killed; only for the people to later ask, “What did he do?” That happens because people do not believe that there is a police or security force that can deal with that situation. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we wish our new IG well, we want him to change the scenario for people to believe that someone who is arrested will not be released. We have had cases in this country where people have been killed because they were released from police custody. It is important that the people get to trust the work of the police. They should believe that justice will be done when someone is arrested. This is the environment in which our new IG is coming into. He is coming into an environment where Kenyans are democratic and are questioning things. If nothing is done for them, they seem to take the law into their hands; and that should not be the case. We need to know that if anything happens in the village or on the highway when driving, you can call the police and they will come to rescue and to take care of you."
