    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I thank the Chairperson and the entire Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for a job well done. That Commission is the lifeline for Kenyans. For us to redeem the image of this country, corruption must be fought. To assure the Kenyan community that things are working and make them have hope for a better future, corruption must be fought. His Excellency the President of the Republic of Kenya, Hon. William Samoei Ruto, has pronounced himself on corruption. He is very clear in his mind that there should be zero- tolerance to corruption. At the outset, that is a Commission that requires a very bold, committed, selfless and self-motivated individual. A person who is a dare devil because the terrain of fighting corruption in Kenya is complicated. The nominee has been proven because he has been in the system, he has the institutional memory and has grown through the ranks. We want to trust that he will redeem the image of this country. It is important for him to know, just like the Leader of the Minority Party has alluded to, that the task ahead of him is enormous. He must be ready to fight and break the cartels and, at the same time, deliver this country from the tight chains of people who think that they own it. Corruption, as we see it today, is so deep-rooted in this country that even in the international community, we are cited as one among the most corrupt countries. As I support the Committee and the nominee, I wish him well and trust that he will take the mantle as the CEO of that very important body. All our eyes are set on him. We wish him well. Thank you."
