I would like to inform the hon. Member on the Floor that during the debate on the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Bill in 2003, hon. Murungi, the then Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs had this to say to the House, and I am reading from the HANSARD. I seem to have lost this page but the upshot of it is that he was saying that through this law, we are creating a new culture of appointing, where appointments by the Executive have to be vetted by Parliament and where the Executive cannot just wake up and appoint."}
