    "content": "vast and immense responsibilities, where every file of serious financial and economic crimes falls on your table. It is quite applaudable that in his capacity and 10 years of service, no one has come or raised a question in terms of his integrity. As we were doing this, we raised memoranda and invited Members to bring forth their challenges or complaints that they may have against the nominee, and not a single one was brought up on the issue of integrity or bribery. Nobody even complained that he was harassed when he was serving in his capacity. Honestly, we want to urge this House that if there is a nominee to help this country, it is him. He is a person who speaks less but acts more. We have had a history under the EACC where we have had CEOs who talk too much, and do very little. You will see a lot in the EACC. We only want to urge him, going by the Presidential Address that His Excellency the President read here in the fight against corruption, now that EACC is independent, this House commits to allocating you more funds. Please, have several corrupt people arrested, whether governors, CEOs, cabinet secretaries or anyone who is involved in corruption. Have them arrested and tried. I wanted to comment on something, but let me not because there could be some interest. Somebody raised an issue claiming that they have told him to arrest so-and-so, and he has not, and that he keeps walking with him. I do not want to say who, but what I am sure is that he will arrest all the corrupt officers and people who are engaged in matters of corruption. With those many remarks, I request and urge this House to support this Report and approve the nominee. We have many pending businesses on investigation and corruption before the tables of EACC. Please approve that great gentleman and let him serve. Go ye and serve diligently. I beg to second. Thank you very much."
