    "content": "I find it very hard to destroy people’s careers in one sitting and condemn them without facts. The last time we were here appointing the predecessor, PLO Lumumba--- The man had passion if you want to say he had passion. However, nobody spoke about passion. Let us assume he had passion. Where did passion land us? You cannot gauge passion. You gauge passion with people who are in employment. It is the employer who provides conditions to make sure that the workers have passion for the job and not the other way round. I was involved in the constitution making process at Bomas of Kenya. I sat with some members in a particular committee. I never thought they would make good legislators. To me they looked as if they were people without passion. For example, Millie Odhiambo, when she came here, she had the passion for being a Member of Parliament, but before she came to Parliament, I could not tell whether she had passion or not. She looked just schooled, but with no passion. However, when she was given the job, she has demonstrated that she had passion. There are many other examples. I know hon. Members want to contribute. My appeal to this House is that the fact that the Committee has not given reasons for any of them apart from their different qualifications--- For you to fight corruption, you do not need to be a lawyer. We have Heads of States who are not lawyers and they have fought corruption in their respective countries. All we need to ensure is that of the three directors, at least, one of them is a lawyer. With those few remarks, I oppose."
