    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to make brief comments on this Motion. First, I would like to congratulate the CIOC for the hard work and for bringing this Motion to this House. The fact that this Motion is before this House is sufficient testimony that the reform agenda is clearly underway. Nobody could imagine this a few years ago. Appointment to public offices is something that Kenyans were used to hear on the radio at 1.00 p.m. news. The fact that we have reached this stage where, as a House, we are now being asked to appoint people who will vet people who will be appointed to the high positions is tremendous development in the right direction. This process will ensure - because it is a very transparent process - that people of good quality and have been achievers in their various fields of endeavour; that persons of high integrity and standing in society are appointed to these very important positions. The fact that this process is transparent will ensure and guarantee that we appoint people who are known for having been achievers. This is very important for this nation and the people of this nation will benefit from this process."
