    "content": "Regardless of whether Mr Erastus Ethekon comes from Nyeri or Turkana, he is a Kenyan. It was unfortunate to hear the impeached and disgraced former Deputy President assert that Mr Ethekon does not warrant to be nominated to this position on account of the community he comes from. I heard Martha Karua say that Ethekon comes from some bush somewhere. Turkana is not a bush. It is part and parcel of our republic. We must respect people, not on the basis of where they come from, but on the basis of their intellectual abilities. I am sure this lawyer is better than Martha Karua by far. I am certain. Turkana County has produced a very well-schooled individual. I speak about Ethekon because I heard him being attacked by disgruntled politicians, not on account of his qualifications, abilities or capacity to lead this Commission, but largely on the basis of where he comes from. It is rather sad that people who purport to have held national offices can demonise a person on the basis of the community they come from."
