    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I belong to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs which vetted Hon. Shadrack Mose. I also stand to support this Motion. When we were interviewing this gentleman, one of the things I appreciated is that he is an honourable Member who has served the people of this country with dedication and commitment and he has shown interest in ensuring that public good is upheld. One of the things that made me consider this candidate positively is because when we asked him whether he is going to assist the Government by giving the correct and right advice, he answered in the affirmative. The Government has had challenges by losing landmark cases. We remember how the Government lost the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) case and many other cases. What Hon. Shadrack Mose said is that he will give the right advice to the Attorney- General and to the Government to ensure that it wins cases. There are contracts that have been signed by the Government but it ends up losing. The people of this country have ended up losing immensely because of carelessness and sometimes wrong advice. For example, in a situation where we sign a contract in which we cede our sovereignty as a country, that is definitely a wrong contract."
