    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I join my colleagues in asking for the approval of Mr Abdi Ahmed Mohamud as the CEO of EACC. Many of my colleagues have called him Mr Mohamed, but it is Mohamud. They confuse Mohamud with Mohamed. But, that notwithstanding, he is qualified and should be in that office by right, being the current Deputy CEO. We are approving his appointment as the CEO. We need to give EACC more teeth. I hope the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs can bring an amendment to the laws, so that EACC can prosecute people. Recently, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) withdrew a case right at the end. The EACC took a case to court, but the DPP withdrew it right at the end when one witness was left to testify. This is completely wrong. Many a time, the courts refuse to withdraw cases by DPP, when EACC is not comfortable. I hope Mr Abdi will pursue cases like Mr Twalib and work hard so that corruption suspects can be behind bars. The DPP should stop withdrawing cases. He should go to the legal conclusion so that this country can be corruption-free. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
