    "content": "(i) Lawrence Nyalle; (ii) Esther Chui- Colombini; (iii) Ronald L. Musengi; (iv) James A. Atema; (v) Benard M. Mbai; and, (vi) Maj. (Rtd). Billow Khalid, HSC For member of the National Police Service Commission from the category of retired senior police officers, the Office of the President recommended:- (i) Dr. Maj, Muiu S. Mutia, EBS; and, (ii) Mary A. Owuor. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, after this whole process of interviewing and sieving the nominees --- The list that Mr. Nderitu was referring you to is a matrix titled “Scores Summary for the Position of Chairperson”. This is a working matrix that was used by the panel to do the ranking; after the ranking they would then apply other criteria that are listed in the statute, and which include integrity. It is possible that a candidate ranked highly in this matrix but on application of other criteria like integrity or regional balancing they may have been knocked out, allowing the Office of the President and the Office of the Prime Minister, through their consultation, to ultimately then settle on the list that I have just read. So the correct record is that the name of Ms. Jean Njeri Kamau never made it to the final shortlist agreed upon between the Office of the President and the Office of the Prime Minister. That is the truth and nothing but the truth. That is the whole truth. It is also factual and it can be confirmed from this list or correspondence. Therefore, using that simple example it beats logic; it beats all tenets of procedure; it flies in the face of the law and it, therefore, knocks on the door of unconstitutionality for this Committee to purport to go to the graveyard of all the applicants who had sought to fill this position and resuscitate a candidate that the panel had found unfit to be recommended for this position and attempt to even re-interview that candidate as confirmed in the record of the Committee, and then go further to make a recommendation to the President to consider that candidate. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Committee was attempting to play prosecutor, jury, judge and executioner, all in the same breath and even be the undertaker of the remains."
