    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, we are Meru and Meru are not Kikuyu. So, we should not be grouped as being Kikuyu. We come from Mount Kenya East and we do not come from Central Province. That should be put in a proper perspective. The mandate of our Committee was not to choose anybody. That was the mandate of the National Police Service Commission. Mr. Muhoro was one of the six people who were chosen from 86 people. He was the one who was nominated. He is just a nominee from the National Police Service. If Members of this House feel that the National Police Service did not do justice, they can petition it and not the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade which was given the mandate to vet a nominee who had been appointed. He was not nominated because of regional or ethnic persuasions. Hon. Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I support my Chairman and urge the House to look into this matter. This is not a Jubilee or CORD affair, but it is us. It is James Maina Muhoro. He is not the Director of the CID and he is not a police officer. I urge this House to approve this nominee because we want to complete the composition of the SRC which has been long overdue. This is the time to do this. Let us not be bipartisan. Let us support the nominee. Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker."
