    "content": "The third reason is that we recognised that when you seek to have employed persons on full-time basis, most of the time, as we have seen in the past with regard to EACC, you only attract people who have been job seekers. When their contracts expire in one body and the EACC advertises the positions, they say: “Oh, I have been a job seeker. I think this is something I am going to do.” This is true if you examine all the commissioners that have been sitting at EACC. We are not creating positions for job seekers. We are creating positions for people seeking to fight corruption in this country. So, the reason we are proposing that the commissioners serve on a part-time basis is so that we can attract persons who are competent, qualified and have something to do. We do not want people who have nothing to do. This is not the place to go and do nothing. They should go and do something somewhere else instead of coming to practise doing nothing at EACC. It is a very serious outfit. With those remarks, I would like to request the Member for Meru, Hon. Florence Kajuju, to second. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
