    "content": "With supplication and a lot of humility, kindly let us embrace continuity; let us not create side shows. Let us not campaign. I want to concede that I did not attend a parliamentary group meeting not because I am very disobedient, but I said that I did not want anybody to talk to me after I had watched the committee proceedings. I want to say that having looked at other committees of previous parliaments in which hon. Members sitting across here participated, I observed their powerful delivery, intellectual interrogation and serious professional scrutiny and wish to say that this Committee fell short of serious vetting. This is in public domain. I locked myself in the television room of my house for two-and-a-half hours to watch their interrogation. The questions asked to the nominee were: “What is your opinion on this matter? What can you do on this matter?” Critical vetting is about competence. You ask questions like: “Can you do this job? Do you have issues? Are you technically focused?” Anyone with a Masters degree from a reputable university, and has served as a member of a board for many years in companies that delivered and is given an opportunity for months can do what I did at the Nairobi Water Company, although I was not an engineer."
