    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, after the interviews were done, I was the top ranked candidate. However, the President chose to pick Mr. Mumo Matemu as the Chairperson. What stands out for me is the kind of lively debate that was witnessed in Parliament when those names were tabled. It is something that cannot happen in our current Parliament. In the HANSARD of 20th December, 2011, you will read that the Leader of Government Business tabled names on the Floor of the National Assembly. The names were then debated for approval. Three sitting Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) voted against the choice of Mr. Mumo Matemu, who had been picked by the President to be the Chairperson of EACC. Sen. Wako was in that Parliament and he will bear me witness that 13 Assistant Cabinet Secretaries voted to veto the names that had been forwarded by the President."
