"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there has been a bit of concern about other things. I also wish to put it on record that the recent annulment of the re-appointment of the previous Director, Justice Ringera by the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs--- I was one of the hon. Members who went out publicly, boldly and very early on to say that the process which was followed by His Excellency in appointing Justice Ringera was wrong. It was, indeed, wrong and the House confirmed that. So, when I stand here, I would like to make it very clear to my colleagues in the House that I have no particular quarrel with any of those individuals who are highly qualified. There is no question about their qualifications. But this is a standard that we are setting. How do we manage the affairs of our country? We must put in place officers, particularly in such delicate positions, who we are all comfortable with; that nobody can challenge that you are there because you are from one side or the other. It should be somebody that we can say: âThis is the best qualified Kenyan. We have no quarrel with the way the process has been done. They will discharge their duties without other difficulties.â I wish to table, just for record, that I was appointed to the Electoral Commission. It was gazetted, but I did not take up the position for those reasons that I have given."
