    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion and I want to say on the outset that I support the Motion. This country has gone without a commission on ethics and anti-corruption for a very long time and there is no doubt that the whole country is looking at this House to provide leadership and appoint suitable Kenyans to undertake the very important task of checking on ethics and corruption issues of this country. It is a long time and hon. Members will recall that, as everyone else has said, we had an opportunity to deal with this matter and the Committee’s decision of rejection of these names was rejected by this House. As Mr. Wetangula has said, it obviously meant that the House supported the nominees. Therefore, I want to urge the House that we do what is right and that is to approve these names as proposed. The issue of performance of the commissioners of the EACC has been raised here and there is no doubt that past commissions have failed this country. I would like to urge that these three Kenyans who have been proposed, if this House approves their names, go to work immediately. There are very many issues of ethics and corruption that are within this country, they need to work quickly and avoid playing to the theater. They should avoid doing their work before the Press so that Kenyans can see the fruits of their work. Therefore, with these remarks, I support and urge hon. Members to support these nominations."
