    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the appointment of the IG, Hilary Nzioki. At this time we are supposed to appreciate these high offices as far as security is concerned. In the Republic of Kenya, you will notice that if police officers just relax for a few hours, many bad things will happen. I would like to encourage the appointee, Mr. Hilary, as he assumes this position. It is important for him to understand that he will face many challenges, some of which he is already aware of since he has served in the National Intelligence Service. He understands a lot as far as corruption is concerned. In this security docket which we are talking about today, you will see some police offices in uniform acting as if they are not part of the security system. When they are ensuring that rules are adhered to, you will see some of them terrorising motor vehicle operators. I urge the IG, as he assumes this position, to check those corrupt officers and deal with them according to the rules. At the same time, I would like him to check on the extrajudicial killings since in this country there are many young people who have been killed and the following day some bodies have been discovered somewhere, yet the people who committed the killings are not brought to book. It is the duty of the IG to find the people who are involved in the killings of young people in this country. At the same time, some lawyers and judges are killed because maybe they have differed with a certain party or person and there is no serious action taken against the killers. It is high time the IG took action."
