    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. We, as Kenyans, are aware and know that corruption is real and it is here. It is because of corruption that we have seen the problem of alcohol and drug abuse over whelm the provincial administrators in parts of central Kenya and also in my constituency. Corruption is a vice that has to be fought. One of the reasons probably we do not have commissioners committed to fighting corruption is because they feel that they serve in that Commission like they are employed. I support the fact that they should serve on a part-time basis so that we can gauge them on merit. When they do not perform, they will be kicked out because they are there on part-time basis and the long procedures of kicking out those that are not performing will not be lengthy as they have always been. From history, we know that corruption fights back. We also know, and we are aware that unless Kenyans come together to create a very effective Anti-Corruption Commission and have commissioners who are willing to stand up to be counted, we may not be able to curb this vice. With those few remarks, I support. Thank you."
