"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this very important Motion. First, I thank the Chair of the Committee, who has very ably presented the report to this House. It is high time we gave a quick approval to this Motion, because our nation right now is ailing as a result of corruption that is raging in the whole nation. If you can direct your attention to the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC), what really happened last year and the year before? What has caused destruction in our schools? The strikes were as a result of corruption. Look at the Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE) and the loss of heavy investments by the Kenyan people in that sector. You also look at the questions that are being directed at the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA); there are unanswered questions. This is an area that could be investigated properly if we had a capable anti-corruption commission. Mothers and fathers are also crying about the Nyaga Stock Brokers. This is an issue that needs to be addressed by this anti-corruption commission. This is a cancer that is deeply affecting this nation. If we can give an approval to the proposed members, who happen to be credible people, they will be able to mobilise their energies, sacrifice for this nation and solve some of these problems. Therefore, it is important that we give approval to these very important nominees."
