    "content": "discriminated when the vetting process took place. These guidelines will assist county assemblies to have the right people in various offices in the counties. That does not mean that they cannot come up with a better criterion to add on what we have given them to assist in terms of vetting. Madam Temporary Speaker, there is one fundamental thing that we, as a Senate, need to unlock from our people so that they trust vetting process. Everyone going for vetting will always get scared wondering whether they will be asked for money by the vetting panel. We need them to trust those vetting committees. It is important that we, as a Senate, as we embrace e-procurement and e-tendering, we make sure that county assemblies ensure proper documentation is done before vetting. The vetting committees should ensure that somebody who applies for a certain job fills in the document and sends his or her questionnaire early. Madam Temporary Speaker, you will remember a story in the Bible – maybe, it is something that many of us do not follow and use although it has strength – when Jesus was choosing his disciples, he did it by himself. He went on and ensured that he had known more about their backgrounds. When he got them, he knew their backgrounds. He could come back and say, “this is so and so, son of so and so.” I know that sometimes people get very scared when they hear that their background will be scrutinized or when they are asked about their background. They should not be scared because they are being appointed to public offices. It is always important for their backgrounds to be known so that the vetting committee knows exactly what kind of people they want to bring on board."
