    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Motion. I think it is high time Parliament respected documents that are placed on the Table of this House. The anti-corruption institutions in this country are of paramount importance to the nation. Unless we build on our current institutions, unless we strengthen the laws we have in this country, and unless Parliament asserts itself in giving the KACC prosecutorial powers, then the war against corruption will be a mirage. The Committee has submitted two names and, as a Member of this House and the Government, I have no problem with two competent Kenyans whose qualifications and CVs have been placed on the Table in this Report. If there is anybody – or any hon. Member in this House – who has good and valid reasons to believe that the said persons are not fit for this particular job, the best thing that hon. Member can do is to give us hard evidence and information that will make us not approve this report. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we should not politicize the war against corruption. We should not personalize the war against corruption. We should not give it a political parties face. We should not give it a regional face. I want to urge my colleagues in Parliament that when names of competent Kenyans are submitted in this House, when names of Kenyans whose CVs went through Parliamentary Committees, are put on the Table of this House, the best or natural thing that we can do to those names is to look at"
