    "content": "I do not find recommendations speaking to how they engaged with the nominee. There is nowhere in that Report where the Committee says that the nominee could not answer this or that question; or answered wrongly. The observation, in my opinion, does not emanate from the Report. In fact, I dare say, the recommendation of the nominee Madam Malonza is baying for blood. This is not the time for bloodletting or looking for blood, but coming together to unite and ensure that our country moves forward. We cannot move forward if we are looking for war where there is none. Hon. Temporary Speaker, our current President and the former President were facing charges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in 2013. They ran for office and we elected them. In this House we have more than 30 MPs with cases in court. So, you cannot tell me that because Hon. Mithika Linturi or Madam Aisha Jumwa have cases in court… I dare say with a heavy heart that one of us has been convicted, but he ran and was elected because the court of appeal allowed him. We have put in law that one is innocent till proven guilty. After being proven guilty, we have said in the Constitution that you must have exhausted all the avenues for appeal. Hon. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
