    "content": "Kiminini, Ford-K): Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. I want to thank the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee. They have done a good work. I have quickly gone through the Report and I have realised that there are some critical issues they managed to bring out. First, I want to speak about the candidates as per the Report. We have been told that 30 per cent of the national revenue goes into wastage because of corruption. It is, indeed, important that whoever was vetted meet the threshold. Having gone through the Report, I am a bit disappointed first, by nominee Mr. John Ogallo. The Report shows that Mr. John Ogallo is not tax compliant. He does not have the Tax Compliance Certificate. We, as Members of Parliament, must have Tax Compliance Certificate as we go for elective seats. You must get a Tax Compliance Certificate. It is very wrong for this House to approve somebody like Mr. John Ogallo and yet it has been demonstrated that he is not tax compliant. Secondly, this is a gentleman who lives in the United States. He was not even available physically for purposes of vetting. He has been away for 25 years and, therefore, he does not understand how critical these issues are."
