It is true, as has been put by majority of Members, IPOA is a very crucial institution. It is a civilian oversight that holds our uniformed officers to account when they go wrong. On the same breath, I correct what the Whip had just said about our police officers abducting. According to our Constitution and relevant Act, our police officers are professional. They do not abduct"},{"id":1503614,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1503614/?format=json","text_counter":126,"type":"speech","speaker_name":". Hon. Deputy Speaker","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"Hon. Tongoyo, I think you have misunderstood what the Member of Parliament for South Mugirango has said. He has said that, at the moment, when there is a lot of discussions about abductions, he hopes that the incoming IPOA leadership will step up because it is their job to deal with the issue of abductions, and that complaints of abductions should actually be directed at them. If it is presumed that it is the police officers are doing it, it will also be presumed that the police are involved in illegal killings. So, he just said it in jest; he did not accuse."},{"id":1503615,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1503615/?format=json","text_counter":127,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Narok West, UDA","speaker_title":"Hon.

Abductions are done by the criminals and it is the duty of our police officers to pursue them. If there are few rogue officers who are unprofessional and unethical, it is the role of IPOA to step in and do what is expected of them. I have no doubt that the eight are competent Kenyans who are suitable and are armed with skills and experience to do the job that is assigned to them. With this, I beg to reply."},{"id":1503616,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1503616/?format=json","text_counter":128,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Narok West, UDA","speaker_title":"Hon.
