    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me an opportunity to support this petitioner. Indeed, it is good for Kenyans to bring their petitions to the Senate because this is where they can be listened to. The petitioner, Mr. Mutembei, is justified to bring the petition to this House. He was hired as a procurement officer based on the qualifications he had. It is unfortunate that he was deployed to an area that he is not competent in. It is also unfortunate that the County Government of Tharaka Nithi did that. If there is an accusation that he accepted a bribe, who was it from? Whoever gave and whoever took the bribe should be brought to book. The action by the county demeans the education profession. Mr. Mutembei could be taken to education but he does not have the papers. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need to interrogate this because we should not waste our education as Kenyans. Mr. Mutembei was a procurement officer. Why should he be taken to education when he does not have the capacity yet a lot of money has been spent on him? There is need for us to run with speed and ensure that investigations are done and there is justice for Mr. Mutembei and it should not be delayed. It is unfortunate that people can be taken to areas they are not competent in and where they are, they are redundant. I hope that the Committee concerned will do justice to this petitioner."
