    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I sit in the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security and we signified our approval to the appointment of this nominee. Allow me to, therefore, register my gratitude and signify my accolades to His Excellency the President for making this nomination. This confirms to us, honourable colleagues, that his Excellency the President is, indeed, keen to integrate all Kenyan communities. You remember in the last Parliament if this appointment were coming it would have come from sections other than lower eastern. So, let me assure the President of our support on matters inclusivity and the fight against corruption. We want a situation where all Kenyans are integrated in national service. This is good. I knew the outgoing IG kept a very open policy, particularly to leaders. Even when we were in the hard-core resistance opposition last time, I visited the offices of IG Boinnet on a number of occasions and I was well received. Whatever we discussed was acted upon. I encourage Mr. Mutyambai, if approved by the House and takes that office, to keep an open-door policy particularly for these leaders. This is because they interact keenly with the constituencies down there and with the people of Kenya. He should act on those matters that leaders take to him."
