    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the reason why the public is throwing rotten eggs in our faces is because of this kind of behaviour. Sen. M. Kajwang’ has raised pertinent issues, which brought your Chair to direct us not to continue contributing to this debate on whether to confirm these two individuals or to stand down the Report. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, what has been circulated to us is basic cut and paste. It is the role of the Senate. What is the role of the Senate? It is the SRC; cut and paste. Then you come and tell us that you are forwarding two individuals, when we have credible information that the entire process was flawed. That is one of the things I will not tolerate. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when you look at what is happening, you will not come short of saying that everything done there was tribal. How on earth do we reject a former Senator, who through some shoddy process with the university, submitted wrong information which amounted to discrimination? The university said that he was not their student and then later on, they come in and say that he was their student. I sat in the Standing Committee on Health when we were confirming the Director General of Health. We went through volumes of documents, which we again transmitted to the Floor of this House. In fact, after this debate that we have right now, there will be a Motion by my colleague, Sen. Okenyuri, to discuss the issue of Dr. Amoth. So, this issue is very clear. My view is that this process is flawed. The only way for us to maintain the integrity of this House is for the entire House to be given an opportunity to go through the documentation because all of us have interest."
