I have been here all day. He has just come in. Maybe, he needs to be informed. I want to support the proposed names by the Committee. I understand the issues raised by Mr. Mungatana, but I want to say on record that I know P.L.O. Lumumba as a man of integrity. I think many Kenyans wish to see Mr. Lumumba in many of these Commissions. I think he is a man beyond reproach. I want to tell you that I do not like him very much, but I know that he performs. So, I want to beseech my colleagues to not let it appear that, for Mr. Lumumba, having tried to come to Parliament, that is a minus. I think the man is one of very few Kenyans with a lot of brains, and with a lot of integrity. I know he may have thought that those brains could bring him to Parliament, but the people did not think as much. With those few remarks, I beg to support."}
