"content": "To that extent, this meets the constitutional threshold that is required in appointing the members of National Police Service Commission. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the functions of the National Police Service are to recruit, appoint persons to post, confirm appointments, promotions, transfers, disciplinary control and remove persons. Currently, Kenya is facing difficulties, and we should not look away. The work of the National Police Service Commission is cut out, particularly in accountability and transparency in addressing the citizens of our country. Secondly, is the issue of human rights and fundamental freedoms. Our police officers must not only be seen but must walk the talk. The idea of politicising everything is as a result of the Police Service going down professionally. The relationship between the National Police Service and the people of Kenya must be restored. That confidence and trust must exist. Hon. Deputy Speaker, we have been watching the events of the last two days on television. The people of Kenya must respect law enforcement. The police officers put their lives on the line so that we can transact in this House and feel safe when we are on the road, that somebody has our backs. However, when we accost an armed young man or woman, then it means we are being provocative and reckless as a country. This must be called by its name. Kenyans must respect those who enforce the law and protect them. On the flip side, the National Police Service Commission must take full control of the discipline of their ranks and file. With those remarks, Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to second."

All they do is discuss their Members of Parliament and those of the County Assembly. They discuss our conduct and the maendeleo that we take to them."
