    "content": "Hon. Speaker, allow me to inform this House that the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs has produced a vetting Report after hearing the candidate. This is a detailed Report which each Member ought to have a copy. It contains all the relevant material necessary for approval of that candidate. We began by establishing that the background information was in order, including how the position was advertised. He was interviewed by the Public Service Commission (PSC). Eventually, he was appointed by His Excellency the President, who communicated to the House and the matter was referred to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. From there, we had approval hearings on 23rd February 2023. It clearly emerged that Hon. Shadrack John Mose, a former Member of Parliament, is qualified to become the Solicitor- General of the Republic of Kenya. We established his educational background, which is straight. We also established his own ethics and he passed very well. He had all the documents. We established his capacity to the be Solicitor-General, and as a renowned lawyer and former Member of Parliament in this Republic, he is qualified. The two blend very well because this is a public office that requires both the professional qualification and public service experience for one to deliver and discharge their duties. We had various findings and observations which are contained in this Report. At the end of it all, we made a recommendation to the House that Hon. Shadrack John Mose be approved. Vetting is not an examination; it is like a peer review where Members of Parliament question the candidate on his or her suitability."
