    "content": "Before coming to this conclusion, we had been confronted with a challenge in the Committee. One of the candidates was knocked off and the reason for being knocked off is not because he did not qualify. He was actually candidate number one. However, we were forced to knock him off because when due diligence was done on his testimonials, a letter came from the University of Nairobi stating that the degree that he had uttered to the Committee was not genuine. Mr. Speaker, Sir, for that reason, we dropped the name of that candidate and proceeded to do the report on which we agreed with the majority. Minutes before I prepared to move the Motion, we received yet another report from the office of the Clerk marked to us. I have found that it is a letter from the University of Nairobi, which is now rescinding its earlier letter to the Committee and is now confirming that the degree certificate from the University of Nairobi is indeed genuine. For this reason, I would like you to guide us because if then the certificate is genuine, it means we have no grounds to knock that candidate from the list. Therefore, his name should be before the House. I appeal to you Chair, to guide us because the matter has since left the Committee. There is nothing the Committee can do. The matter is now in Plenary. Thank you."
