    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the names recommended in this Report were arrived at by consensus. Perhaps, what we have seen previously, where members of the same Committee have come out here to actually contradict and undermine their own Report, will not be seen in respect of this report. As a member of that Committee, I want to assure this House that the names were properly vetted. There was consensus and wide consultations. We have endeavoured to achieve regional balance, but, most importantly, to get people of integrity. Today, Kenya lives in an era where corruption has taken root, while both the NARC and Grand Coalition Governments were elected on a platform of zero tolerance to corruption. Indeed, corruption has taken root and major scandals are being witnessed, maybe, on a monthly basis. We do, therefore, need a team that will be above board, like Caesar's wife, and it should be beyond reproach. These are the names that we have presented to the House for scrutiny. We urge Members to scrutinise the names properly because of the important role that these members are going to play in the war against corruption."
