    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I want to appreciate the work of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. This job was assigned to them about two weeks ago and within a very short time, they have come with a report to this House, so that we can approve the appointment of Mr. Njee Muturi to the position of Solicitor-General of our great nation. As Members, not many nominees are known to us by name or individually when we undertake this kind of function, which is a constitutional mandate. Mr. Muturi is known to the political class. He is a fine gentleman. If you look at the report of the Committee, he is suitable and has suitable credentials and experience. He is a lawyer, a political scientist and a man of letters. The report also clearly states that he is a man of integrity. In terms of vetting, as the august House of this Republic, we look into whether the person is suitable, competent and whether he is a man of integrity. He passes those tests. We are given this noble constitutional opportunity to make decisions on behalf of Kenyans who do not sit in this House. It could be me or you ten years from now. We have an obligation to accord Kenyans the right to serve this nation, if they are suitable and are men of integrity; if they are competent for the position they have been nominated to by the President, they have a right. Whether we are in the minority or in the majority, we have an obligation to ensure that Kenyans who have been given this opportunity, if they pass the vetting tests, are accorded the respect and dignity to serve this nation. For that reason, I support the report. I support the appointment of Mr. Njee Muturi to the position of Solicitor-General of our Republic."
