    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, like those who have spoken before me, I also want to thank the CIOC for a good job. The men and women who have been recommended to be members of this Committee are men and women of eminent qualifications. They qualify. I am very happy that we have finally accepted the role that Prof. Saitoti mentioned; the people who have suffered and humiliated, those whose characters have been assassinated by the previous regimes; Nyayo House Torture Chamber graduates, who fought so hard under great pain to bring the changes--- In this respect, I am recognizing the recommendation of Prof. Ngotho wa Kariuki whom I have known as a great Kenyan and a well qualified man. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sharad Rao is somebody I have known for a long time. He rose through the ranks under Charles Njonjo to become an acting Attorney- General of this country at one time. As a Deputy Public Prosecutor as they were then known, he is one person who administered the functions of a prosecutor impartially. As far as I can remember, he did not accept to be used in the manner in which we saw several others being used by the powers that were to achieve political purposes. I am grateful that this Committee did single him out to chair this Commission. I worked with him when he was the Chairman of the Business Premises Rent Tribunal, and I can say that he is a man of great fairness and impartiality. That is why even world organizations like FIFA did seek him out to act as a judge in arbitration and dispute resolution matters. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would have liked to speak a little longer but, because everything I will say will be a repeat of what has been said, I wish to support this Motion."
