    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the nominee, Mr. James Maina Muhoro because I have worked with this gentleman. Before I came to this House, I was an advisor to the Prime Minister on Special Interest Group and I worked with Mr. Muhoro in the office. I can attest that he is reliable, honest, and very competent as an administrator. It is somebody we depended on very much in the office. Let us not judge this issue based on ethnicity. The National Police Service Commission is chaired by one, Mr. John Kavuludi and through their decision they have nominated Mr. James Maina Muhoro as a nominee to the SRC, just like Parliament has Mr. Peter Oloo Aringo, the former Member of Parliament. I rise to actually support Mr. James Maina Muhoro that he should not be prosecuted out of emotions and public discourse that have nothing to do with his character. The National Police Service Commission right now has been constituted by people who are from various backgrounds. We need people who are from various backgrounds. We need people who are career administrators. In fact, I would want to say that, Mr. James Maina Muhoro is actually a principal secretary material. If you look at his CV, he has been able to chair two secretariats. He is actually the one who set up the Secretariat of the National Police Commission. He was actually recruited as the CEO. Therefore, we cannot sacrifice experience and talent based on mere allegations. Anybody can go to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission and write letters of various allegations to anyone of us seated here. Does it mean that based on those allegations you are supposed to vacate office? Until you are charged and proved guilty, you are innocent. At this point in time, this is not a question of party; it is a question of individual’s integrity. I would like to support."
