    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support the approval of Mr. Hilary Mutyambai as the IG of Police. I thank the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security for presenting to us a relatively young man to this critical position. Mr. Mutyambai takes over from Mr. Boinnet. It is high time we also appreciated the former IG, Mr. Boinnet, who really served this country well. Mr. Boinnet served this country with a lot of humility and dedication to his work. Mr. Mutyambai comes in as a master’s degree graduate. I am happy that really we are looking at education as a serious component when it comes to employment. Mr. Mutyambai has also worked in the police service before. Therefore, he is bringing a lot of experience in this line of duty. The new IG comes in at a time in this country when we are talking about increased violence against women. In this country, there has been an increase in gender-based violence all of a sudden. This is especially violence against women. Even in the recent past, we have seen a number of police officers who are actually perpetuating violence against women. We have seen police officers who are shooting women, their girlfriends and the other gender. In terms of looking at what you talked about, it is high time … I am happy that Mr. Mutyambai talked about gender-based violence. I take this seriously when he talks about policies and guidelines that he will put in place to ensure that the issue of gender-based violence and especially violence against women reduces in this country."
