    "content": "The other reason why we propose and support part-time commissioners is to avoid job seekers. We are in a country where commissioners have become rotational. They serve in the EACC; rotate to the National Land Commission; rotate to the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission; rotate to the IEBC and rotate to the Commission on Administrative Justice. We did not create commissions so that commissioners can rotate from one commission to the other. We want to avoid a scenario of job seekers. If you are a Kenyan and want to assist the country in the fight against corruption, we think you cannot do this as a job seeker. You need to have resolved to come and commit yourself to the fight against corruption. When we have full time commissioners, we are encouraging a culture of job seekers in our commissions and encouraging a culture where some of us, as young as we might be, as much as we want to serve this country, we go into commissions on which we do not have the requisite experience to serve and lead. When commissioners are working on part-time, we were of the view that this will attract the best retired judges, best minds and people who are already earning a living in another arena. When they come to the Commission, they come to fight corruption. They do not come to the Commission as job seekers."
