    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to put in my word for Hilary Mutyambai as the next Inspector-General of Police. He is coming at a very delicate time because we are transitioning from a police force into a police service for the third time now having had Kimaiyo and Boinnet as the previous holders of that office. Now that we are on the third holder of the office during the transition time, we need somebody who is going to be very forceful in enforcing the new reforms. We need to take cue from the French professor who was giving evidence during the International Criminal Court (ICC) cases. He talked about the history of our police. He described it in a sentence. He said that it has been maintaining law and order since the colonial times and we need to struggle and strive to make it enforce the rule of law. That is why we need to put the police in charge of enforcing the rule of law. For you to enforce the rule of law, you must be beyond reproach. The most embarrassing thing in our society is moral corruption and it is epitomised by the presence of our uniformed officers extorting Kshs50, Kshs100 or Kshs200 in traffic cases."
