    "content": "Hon. Speaker, let me, first of all, thank the Committee for bringing this Report. This House is a House to consider and take the rights of Kenyans very seriously. It seems that today, the most marginalized communities are to be further marginalized through the reports of these Committees. We have just rejected the appointment of Dr. Alawy on the flimsy basis of having dual citizenship. Our Constitution, since 2010, allows for dual citizenship. So, majority of those who have been rejected come from the minority communities. So, this afternoon, the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, just like the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, went along and gave very flimsy reasons to reject the appointment of Mr. Suyianka Lempaa. The Committee made recommendations and my friend, the Leader of Majority Party, has just alluded to that. He is opposed or supports the rejection of Mr. Lempaa because of his personal views on CDF. That is a personal view; it is not law. This is a House that makes laws. Whether it is Mr. Lempaa or somebody else in the bush there - in the kichaka huko – who makes an opinion that this House may not agree with, we should not be afraid of people’s views."
