Speaker, Sir, the Committee did not bother to go ahead to also indicate in great detail the absolutely impressive qualifications of that lady, who is a Kenyan. Those qualifications have already been put on record by hon. Jamleck Kamau and I am not going to repeat them. But, most importantly, in respect of those allegations, the Committee went ahead to record a very detailed response from Ms. Kandie. If you look at her response, she is actually denying every single allegation on record and, I suppose, on oath. That is because we have a tradition in this House that every witness that appears before a Committee of the House – and I speak as a former chairman of a Committee of this House – has to do so on oath. My concern – and this is where I want to conclude this particular point – is that after the committee gave us those details, it does not pass a verdict based on the information received and on the clarifications provided by that candidate. The Committee then runs to page 67---"}
