    "content": "investigation body. You cannot be excellent in one job and not in the next. It is not enough that one either be of police background or a lawyer. They should have some demonstrated experience in carrying out successful investigations, and/ or analysis of cases. They should have a sound background in criminal law. I feel that one of the problems we are having with the KACC is under-capacity, not in terms of academic qualifications but in terms of the professional know-how. Yes, they try to be professional, but I am not satisfied that this is the sort of body we are looking for. I would urge Parliament to take its time. Let us not be driven by a hurry to say that we need these names. Let the Departmental Committee on Administration of Justice and Legal Affairs do some extra work. They will be supported by other hon. Members with information, so that we can hire officers who are going to help with a turnaround in the way we investigate anti-corruption cases. We are talking at a time when the nation is impatient with the pace of reforms and the Government; although it is currently talking so much about reforms, it is behaving in a manner clearly to indicate that reforms are totally unwelcome. I would, therefore, say that it would be wrong for Parliament to join the Government as yet another anti-reform institution. I honestly believe that passing this report will make Parliament go down as another anti-reform arm of Government. We already know the Executive has distinguished itself as anti-reform. There is no need for Parliament to go for such dubious credentials."
