    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I think when we are in a position to advise the political leadership, we need to advise them properly. What is the work of a Solicitor-General? I have heard mention of him as the Accounting Officer of the State Law Office. That is true. This office is the one that is very instrumental in various Government contracts. More importantly - we have got it wrong in this country a number of times - is that this is the office that is the official Government receiver when it comes to State corporations. With just three functions, then we know that this is a key position. I have not checked the competence, capacity, professional qualifications and experience of Mr. Muturi, but I would have loved to see a more careful appointment by the President because there is something we call perception. The President of the Republic of Kenya must be alive and sensitive to public perception. When we give Mr. Muturi an office of this nature and magnitude, an office that is supposed to be responsible for contracts, and is likely to be accused of corruption, or praised for fighting corruption, he has to be very careful, otherwise he may find that his actions make it very difficult for the Government to operate."
