    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, before Bills come to Parliament, they go through a number of stages and the final custodian of Bills, for your information, is the AG of the Republic of Kenya. It is him who passes them to Parliament. Therefore, Government Bills come through the stakeholders, the Kenya Law Reform Commission, the CIC, Cabinet, AG and back to Parliament. I am sure that this is part of the learning process for some of our colleagues. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, hon. Kathuri raised the issue of the two names and why they were rejected. Hon. Kathuri, I think the blame goes to the Committee on Education, Research and Technology. If you have five nominees to vet and in your opinion three of them have no issues, the Standing Orders provide that we reject two and we approve three. It has taken place a number of times in this Parliament. Therefore, the failure is on the part of the committee that brought the names. Finally, I think there was the issue raised by hon. Injendi about applying and being rejected. I am sure if you apply after the positions have been advertised and you know you meet all the criteria and you have no integrity issues – that is with regard to Chapter Six of the Constitution - your name will pass through Parliament."
