    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. As we looked at the evidence, we were guided by that report of the Tenth Parliament which found the three nominees unsuitable. Even as we look at all this evidence, I also want to look at the issues that we have identified for determination as a Committee; the issues that were raised in the Petition by Mr. Oriaro and the issues that we found were necessary for our determination. One of the issues was whether Mr. Mumo Matemu and Ms. Irene Keino have exhibited gross misconduct in the performance of their functions to warrant their removal from office. The Committee observed, when we met and we did the hearings, that Ms. Irene Keino and Mr. Mumo Matemu had misconducted themselves in the various ways that we have shown and the letters that we have read. We also found out that Mr. Mumo Matemu and Ms. Irene Keino were incompetent and this warrants their removal from office. We looked at the report of the Tenth Parliament and we also found evidence that Ms. Irene Keino, Mr. Mumo Matemu and Prof. Onsongo have been wrangling and instead of resolving their issues amicably, Ms. Keino and Prof. Onsongo wrote to His Excellency the President seeking removal of Mr. Mumo Matemu from office. Ms. Keino and Prof. Onsongo later came before the Committee and admitted that they were duped by the Commission’s secretary and by Mr. Michael Mubea. We found that information very worrying because these are commissioners and the others were secretariat. They signed the letter themselves. Ms. Irene Keino confirmed that they signed the letter that was indeed sent to the President. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
