    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me begin with the first one; how Mr. Kiplagat was appointed. It is very clear that Mr. Kiplagat was appointed under Section 9(1) of the Act. Let me confirm to the House and my learned senior that the body that nominated Kiplagat to the Commission is not one of those NGOs or the civil society now claiming that he is guilty. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Mr. Kiplagat was proposed by the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK). Up to today, the NCCK has not, either directly or indirectly, objected and began to question the credibility and character of Mr. Kiplagat. Therefore, those making various allegations against him are not one of the bodies that nominated him to the Commission. Up to this moment, until the time I left the office at about 2.15 p.m. we have not, as a Ministry, received any formal communication either from a person or a group of persons making the allegations that have been raised in the House. Therefore, I want to confirm that as a Ministry, we have not received any single written complaint asserting the allegations raised by my colleague. I believe I have been able to deal with the two issues raised by my senior learned friend, whom I respect very much."
