    "content": "Office of the Attorney-General of Kenya. Therefore, you cannot say that there is a community that does not have an accounting officer. Principal Secretaries are accounting officers. Hon. Shadrack Mose is not representing the Abagusii Community. He has been vetted by a Committee. Many Members who spoke ahead of me agree that he merits to serve as an Accounting Officer in the Office of the Attorney-General. He warrants that position. Having served with him in the 12th Parliament, I can confirm to the country that Hon. Shadrack Mose is not just a humble servant of the people but a diligent worker. Those who worked with him in the House Business Committee and in the Departmental Committee on Transport and Public Works in the last Assembly can bear me witness on that. I also worked with him as he ran for a parliamentary seat on a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ticket. As we formed UDA, we worked very closely with him. He is not a man you can intimidate. He withstood a lot of intimidation and coercion by those who believed they had what they called the deep state and the system and that they had all the powers to indicate to people in parts of Nyanza, where he comes from, where to go to politically. Hon. Shadrack Mose stood firm for what he believed in. I encourage him, as he settles down in the State Law Office to ensure that, as he promised during his vetting, he professionalises the State Law Office. We must not again see many cases being lost in court by the Government. We must work with and support him, as he sought during his vetting to enhance the budget for the State Law Office to ensure that it has good professionals and can retain the best brains in the country. With those many remarks, Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to support."
