Mr. Kibet is not yet 60, but he is almost that age. Right now, he has not reached the age of 60. Yes, I agree we had an issue with the letters the EACC sent. The fact that one, Mr. Kibet, had worked as a board member at KMTC, and at that particular time, a recruitment process was done and some issues were raised.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
