"content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to also thank the Committee for a job well done. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the three Kenyans we are talking about today herald a history in this country where, for the first time, the Chief Justice of this country, his Deputy and the Director of Public Prosecutions are being appointed with the concurrence of the House. Dr. Willy Mutunga was my lecturer. He taught us at the University of Nairobi and he supervised me in my dissertation, which is teaching material in Commercial Law at the University of Nairobi. He is a brilliant man and I have no doubt that he will live to the expectations of the people of this country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Ms. Nancy Baraza was together with Ms. Martha Karua, Mr. Robinson Githae and Mr. Otieno Kajwang a class ahead of me. They are all men and women of great integrity. I have known Ms. Nancy Baraza since our high school days and I can stand for her. I have no doubt that she will equally add value to the reform process that we are all going through. I know Mr. Tobiko and he is certainly a young man who will live up to the expectations of the people of this country. I want to take this opportunity to urge our colleagues out there, who have reservations about him, that we should give him a chance and if he does not perform, avenues, ways and means of removal from office are also provided. The Committee has told us that they recommend his appointment and we have deleted the rider. I urge Parliament to give these three young Kenyans an opportunity to serve this country."
