    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Report. From the outset, although with some reservations, I support the Report as prepared by the Committees of both Houses. The work of the Kenya Police is a public duty. We look forward to the reforms of the National Police Service where police officers will become friendly to the citizenry. We have been experiencing extrajudicial killings and disappearances in many parts of this country. I hope that the House will approve the nominee for the position of Inspector- General of Police. We want serious investigations into extrajudicial killings. For example, we have had disappearances of citizens for a long time in the constituency which I represent. More than 20 people have disappeared into thin air over a period of three years. One of the things which surprise the leadership in Garissa County, and particularly Dadaab sub-county, is that even when we ask the operations of this mysterious force… I call it mysterious because it is neither accountable to the police security arms in the region nor to the administrators. Nobody can confirm whether this force was sent by its relevant sections. It has been operating in Garissa County, Wajir County and Mandera County. They have brand new vehicles with number plates which are not officially available in the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) website. Even if you get the number, you find that the vehicle you get when you search is totally different. These vehicles are new.
