"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to touch briefly, again, on the issue of where Kenya is heading to. I have witnessed recently Judges being asked all kind of questions. I hold a completely different view. The great leaders of our country do not lead the country because of the laws or the Constitution that is made. The great leaders of a country lead their countries to greatness by their virtues. That is why in the United States of America, President Clinton was to leave office in disgrace just because of one thing, that is, lying under oath. The Chairman of this Commission and all Commissioners should be men of integrity. Men of integrity will not be selected through tribal or political affiliations. I am on record as having said in this House that even the appointment of the Chief Justice--- I wonder how many men of honour would go through what we are going through. Therefore, this House must decide that when proposals are brought for the Commissioners of this Commission, let us not say, âSo-and-so cannot make a good Commissioner because he had two girlfriends,â as it has happened before. Somebodyâs name was not approved by this House because maybe he was quarreling with his wife."
