    "content": "I want to state at this stage that we did a very professional job. We met with the nominees for an average of two hours each. Subsequently I read the newspapers. I read with a lot of surprise the Daily Nation which is supposed to be the leading newspaper. It said that members of the Committee shunned policy issues for personal questions. The newspaper went ahead and said that the members were clueless and that we did not know what we were doing. I want to set the record straight. If the Nation Media House sent a clueless journalist to my Committee then they must take responsibility for the clueless person that they sent to the Committee. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I call upon you to check the capacity of those sent to cover parliamentary proceedings to understand the issues which Parliament is handling. I have a problem when I see that we dealt with each of the nominees for two hours on serious issues of inflation, interest rates, employment and exchange rates. In fact, I want to congratulate my members because they exhibited a lot of energy and knowledge. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have very qualified Members. This House is suffering because nobody is doing publicity for it. Many people out there believe that Members of Parliament are a bunch of fools. That issue must be handled properly. I want to tell them that, in this House, we have some of the great minds in this country. I do not expect a newspaper called “ Daily Nation” to put a headline for a question---"
