    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity o also support this Motion. I want to thank both the Minister and the Committee for a job well done. This nominee is a known Kenyan and nobody doubts his ability to transact efficient and effective business within the JSC. But in future, I would like the Committee to make sure that they are very sure about the candidates that they bring before this House. They should investigate thoroughly and recommend the way they have done in unison, so that we are not treated to the kind of treatment that we had when we were approving the name of the Director of Public Prosecution where the Committee recommends and at the same time suggests investigations. This goes against the spirit and the text of the Constitution. What we had last time was a recommendation and no recommendation. In future, they should be very emphatic like they are with Rev. Kobia, so that we can know that once a name comes here having been deliberated very strongly by a Committee of this House, then that name only requires a few minutes for it to pass because the Minister is pressed with many other Bills. Then we can proceed to debate other Bills that are urgent and important. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if that was done, perhaps, the kind of hullabaloo that we had surrounding other nominees would not have been there. The Chairman, the Vice- Chair and the Members of the Committee are here. They should be emphatic every time they bring a name before this House that, that name deserves to be passed. They should never bring a report that is divided. They must, as much as possible, build consensus the way they have done in this one. With those few remarks, I support the Motion."
