    "content": "office of the Inspector-General of the NPS and Sections 10(1) and (4) of the NPS Act that set out the functions and powers of the Inspector-General. The NPS is a very important organ of any state. It is the bedrock of ensuring that the internal security of our nation is guaranteed. Someone once said that if you think people are inherently good, you should get rid of the police for only 24 hours and see what happens. Just remove the police from the streets for 24 hours and you will see the chaos that will happen in a country. The Seconder talked about the academic qualifications of Mr. Nzioki. This is the third IG we are vetting. One of the worst performing Inspector-Generals in the history of Kenya had a PhD. A man called Kimaiyo. He had a PhD and two master’s degrees. There is a notion that when you have papers you can be the best soldier. The Member for Kathiani is sitting here. His grandfather was one of the best generals. He had no formal education. My father-in-law was one of the best generals - General Mahamoud. He had no formal education. So, when vetting somebody who is a security expert, please, do not tell us the story of “Mr. Sieke”. Secondly, having a competent and effective IG cannot be overstated as it is directly linked to having an effective police service. We now have a more reformed police service. We have clearly demarcated the functions of the Administration Police Service and those of the Kenya Police Service."
