    "content": "National leaders, women and men are counted where they stand at the moment of crisis. Today, we will be counted as national leaders depending on our stand on this issue. We have a national crisis. Corruption is a culture in this country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we, as national leaders, cannot stand here and support issues that deal with corruption because it is serious. Giving a job to a person is not something that we can stop. What we can stop is the method of doing so. The methodology and the process are wrong. We, as Members of this House, are opposing the method that has been used and that is a national crisis. We, as leaders of this country, do not want to see a repeat of variation of rules that we create in this House. It is wrong for us to support a wrong method. We, as Members of this House, just want to be given three more days so that we can solve the problems that exist. Even if we give the same person the job, it should be done in the right way. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we cannot just rubberstamp a decision that has been made elsewhere. We, as leaders, have a responsibility to look into that and see the process pass through this House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am a Member of the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. Our Committee met with the Advisory Committee which felt that their responsibility has been taken from them. As a committee, we felt it was wrong for a mandate or responsibility given to a certain group of Kenyans to be denied from them. The KACC is supposed to set its standards. If they are the ones who are setting standards, checking and looking into all manner of misconduct in this country; looking into public affairs in this country, it is only right for the people who will implement those investigations to be appointed in the right manner. With those few remarks, I beg to oppose the Motion for Adjournment."
