Section 16 of the EACC Act (No.22 of 2011) provides for the process of appointment of a Commission Secretary. The Act stipulates that this must be done through open, transparent and competitive process. I want to commend the Commission because it has done that. Finally, Mr. Halakhe Waqo is a Kenyan. He has worked both in the private and public sector. Mr. Halakhe Waqo is an academician. He has written many papers. Mr. Halakhe Waqo has a curriculum vitae (CV) that is required for this kind of position. Above all, Mr. Halakhe Waqo represents the marginal community of this country. For the last four years, I have been a Member of Parliament who has been agitating for an Anti-Corruption Authority that is not rhetoric; that is not playing to the public galley. I think that under the leadership of Mr. Halakhe Waqo, we will have a vibrant EACC in this country. I support the appointment of Mr. Halakhe Dida Waqo, a Kenyan from the pastoral community. I support this Report, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir."}
