    "content": "our nation. We have one nominee representing each of the eight regions, expect for the Rift Valley which is represented by two nominees because of the vast and populous nature of this region. As ably presented to this House by the Chairman, the process of selecting these nominees was highly professional and we are confident, as the PSC, that each of the nominees that we are requesting this House to give its stamp of approval to, is qualified to hold this important position. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to urge this House, that as we consider these nominees, may we focus on the merits of each of the nominees. We should avoid any sideshows and unfounded allegations that may encompass the debate on this process. In the process of considering these nominees, we received some allegations. I want to assure this House that we took time to deliberate on the issues that were presented before us and found them without basis. So, we present to you a list of nominees that enjoy the full confidence of the Parliamentary Select Committee. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, may I also add that in arriving at this list, the Committee was unanimous. We did not take a vote. We deliberated on this matter at length; deep into the evening and we arrived at unanimous consensus. Let me just add that in settling on the nominee for chairmanship, we were persuaded by his solid credentials both in terms of technical and professional training and competence. As presented by the Chairman, his training, competence and professional path in matters directly relevant to this task, is unquestionable and impeachable."
