    "content": "followed with regard to Mr. Mutonyi among others. I feel that this is wrong because this man has been ridiculed in this House for a mistake that he did not commit. I feel that it is high time that we stood here and correct measures are taken with regard to this reappointment. We do not care who will be reappointed as long as the procedure is followed. You will realize that the Executive has made a number of mistakes and for that reason, the Back-benchers and any other hon. Member who is guided by his conscious has every reason to stand here very strongly and express his outrage on the manner by which the Executive is conducting itself. If I were to remind them, if they do not have an institutional memory - this Parliament passed a Vote of No Confidence on Mr. Kimunya and the Executive later reappointed him. Is this not disregard of Parliament? With regard to the Fiscal Analysis Bill, the same happened. This is another time when Mr. Ringera has been appointed without undergoing the due process of approval by this House. I feel that if we do not oppose this very strongly, this culture will continue. We must remember that the lives that we lost during the post-election violence in January would not have been lost if there was complete respect and due regard for the law in this country. When those people died, there was a legitimate Government in place that had sworn to protect the lives and properties of Kenyans. However, with all that, we know what happened and they decided not to do anything. Time has come when we must say no to this culture. With those few reasons, I beg to oppose the Motion."
