    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not worried about the noise being made; I am making my point. Mr. Chair, you did a shoddy job here; you signed minutes here without giving reasons why the name of Matemu was rejected. You just gave his credibility, you showed how able he is, and you found absolutely no reason to make a remark here to show that he has failed. You left it blank and then you brought this Report here with your minutes and you want us to accept it! This is wrong! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you go to page 7 of this Report, it gives the details or the requirements that they met. The requirements have been met. The requirements that are needed within the Constitution have been met. If you go to page 8 and 9, ten good points have been given by the Chair. These 10 good points qualify Mr. Matemu for the job. Not one has been challenged, and you want to say that the man does not qualify for the job! That is wrong. Somebody sits down with this Committee, puts down 10 points that clearly show qualifications of the candidate and yet the candidate does not qualify! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you go to page 10, the reasons given are what has been said here; passion, initiative and drive. If I go to the constituencies of some of these hon. Members, I will find that the people who elected them are complaining that they are not serving them, but they are still hon. Members of Parliament. We all have weaknesses. You cannot pick just three points and say that Matemu was involved in corruption. There is no corruption! There is no wrong doing! This man has never stolen anything. Some of those who wrote this Report were rejected by the electorate! They came here as nominated Members of Parliament because they were rejected in their constituencies, yet they are here writing such a report!"
