    "content": "Committee did was to rise above regional party politics and any other interests. There interest was to serve the interest of this country. The interest here is that the panel, which was being headed by Kamunge, proved to be incompetent. It acted with a lot of conflict of interest in executing its mandate. Allowing a panellist to go back to be interviewed by the same colleagues is the worst crime that the panel committed. The TSC is an institution which requires a lot of dignity. Unless we rise above party politics and protect the TSC, we are bound to fail. One of the reasons as to why we opposed this list is that the authorities used a system that did not respect the rule of law completely. Some people acted with a lot of impunity. One of the names that were forwarded to this House was not one of the names that were supposed to be forwarded here by the President. By the end of the process, one of the names found its way to the Committee. What we are saying is that we need a process that respects the rule of law, and which is accountable and credible. What this Committee is asking this august House to do is to adopt its resolutions in full, the effect of which is discarding of the entire list and giving an opportunity to all Kenyans to apply afresh and be subjected to interviews. As a House, we have the mandate of censoring any panel or Commission or process that breaks the law."
