    "content": " The Committee is satisfied that the nominee was recruited through the correct statutory procedure. He was recruited openly, transparently and competitively. Therefore, he satisfies the relevant provisions of the law. The Committee is equally satisfied that the nominee meets the constitutional and statutory requirements for appointment to the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC). In particular, he meets the provisions of the Constitution on citizenship, leadership, ethics and integrity, tax compliance, as well as obligations under the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB). We are also satisfied that the nominee has the relevant abilities, experience, qualities and meets the needs of the office to which he has been nominated. For the benefit of Members, the nominee has worked at the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission for the last 19 years, occupying different positions as a Senior Investigator, Director of Investigations and currently as the Deputy CEO. He is the first person to be nominated to be the CEO, while working at EACC. The rest have come from outside. In our questioning during the approval hearings, we were satisfied that he has the necessary qualities to take the war on corruption forward. He enumerated several achievements in terms of recovery of assets of about Ksh4 billion each year on cases that, as the Director of Investigations and the Deputy CEO, superintended all the way through the courts so that illegally acquired public assets are recovered. We seek the House to approve Mr Abdi Ahmed Mohamud to be the next Secretary and CEO of EACC. I call upon the Whip of the Majority Party, Hon. Member for South Mugirango, to second."
