    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, hon. Mbadi went on record, together with hon. Namwamba, as the two “official” representatives of that other party which opposed the nomination of Mr. Keriako Tobiko. We also agreed, as a Committee, that all Members, given that we could not agree on all those recommendations, were at liberty to make their positions known on the Floor of the House. When hon. Karua was contributing, hon. Mbadi could only give information. As I contribute, he can only rise on a point of order! The other reason as to why I am supporting this amendment is that allegations were raised against each and every candidate who appeared before us, and rightly so. I support the candidature of the nominee for the position of Chief Justice. I was with him in the struggle, during which we formed the NGO Council. The same applies to Ms. Nancy Baraza. We dismissed the allegations that were brought against them regarding their morality. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when it came to the issue of the nominee for the post of the Director of Public Prosecutions, Mr. Keriako Tobiko, who is a brilliant son of the pastoralists, we started exhibiting colonial mentality; that “after 100 years, all the Maasais would be Kikuyus!” That is a quote from a book! It is not my own statement. The serious allegation made by Prof. Ghai against Keriako Tobiko is that he had claimed money that was not owned to him. We called none other than the Chief Anti-corruption Officer, Prof. P.L.O. Lumumba – a great Kenyan whom this House cleared to head an institution. He came and testified that nothing of the sort happened. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other allegation against Mr. Tobiko was that he had a hidden interest, and he said that he had already given a particular case to a private prosecutor, who came and gave evidence. The Attorney-General of the Republic of Kenya also appeared before us and said that Tobiko is the greatest Director of Public Prosecutions he has seen all his time in that office. The only reason"
