    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to ventilate on this Motion. I want to confirm that I am a member of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. We burnt the midnight oil while vetting that candidate. I want to assure Members that we found him fit to be the CEO of EACC. Allow me to give this House some statistics to show the extent of the job ahead for Mr Mohamud. Kenya scored 31 points out of 100 in the corruption perceptions index according to Transparency International. On a larger scale internationally, it is ranked position 126 against 180 countries. The success index for that candidate is to ensure that Kenya moves from position 126 to 100. The countries that topped the list are Singapore, New Zealand and Finland. Transparency International Report indicates that the most corrupt countries in the world are Syria, South Sudan and Venezuela. I want Members to know the responsibility that is being given to the CEO if this House adopts the Report. Corruption has an angle to the welfare of the country. The countries mentioned as the most corrupt are the poorest while the least corrupt countries have the highest living standards. The duties and responsibilities of the CEO are enormous."
