    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also oppose the recommendations of this Committee. I have several reasons for that. First, although it is good for parliamentary committees of this House to raise issues on matters that relate to transparency, especially with regard to recruitment to senior positions in this country, we also have to be careful about the implication of politicizing some of the decisions. Firstly, I think there have been complaints about lack of stability at KAA. If you remember, the former MD’s contract was renewed twice or thrice. There was anxiety and Kenyans were saying that it is good to deal with the issue once and for all, so that we can have stability at KAA. We are not making that stability possible by continually, as Members of Parliament, delaying the process of identifying the person who would comfortably sit on the seat. Secondly, I think we should also ask ourselves what are the implications of that to the Board that did the appointment. Again, there are issues of stability, confidence and also in terms of the feeling that they can comfortably sit down and perform the duties for which they were appointed."
