    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Special Motion. I support the appointment of Mr. Hilary Nzioki Mutyambai. I join my colleagues in welcoming him to the service. Let him pick from where his predecessor, IG Boinnet left. He should perform better. The police service in Kenya has been bedevilled with a lot of criticism. It has always been criticised in the right way without any bias. Upon getting to office, I would request Mr. Hilary to overhaul the training curricula in Kiganjo. It appears the training is geared towards creating enmity between police officers and members of the society they intend to serve. These police officers come from our homes and villages. They are our sons and daughters and I do not see why when they are in that uniform, they behave like beasts, especially when they are handling cases. They do not behave like they are citizens of this country. Therefore, I would like to see a situation where discipline is instilled, especially within the junior ranks of the police service, more so the traffic police officers. When you see them on the roads purporting to be checking motorists, know that they are not doing that; theirs is just a cash business. Those roadblocks are kiosks where they collect money. Once the loot is enough, they carry it away to go and share. At times you find as many as four roadblocks on a given road in one day after which nobody is charged with any offence. Hilary should look into such cases."
