    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. As much I agree with deleting this, one thing we must make clear as a House is that vetting is not punishment. Vetting is not about people getting away with something or not. It is about establishing suitability to hold a particular office. It is not that if somebody commits a crime somewhere---There are other provisions in the law through which we deal with someone who is not performing, or somebody who has been found corrupt; we cannot say in as much as we are passing this, the reason we are passing this is that no one gets away with it. Vetting is not about that. So, if you move from PS to Cabinet Secretary (CS), you should come, so that we see whether you are suitable for the new title; whether your experience, background and understanding are suitable, not as a punishment, Hon. Jakoyo. It is actually an endorsement that despite the fact that you are a PS, you can make a very good CS. So, even as we remove this because we cannot try to go around Parliament, let it be clear that the reason we are doing that is because we want to affirm suitability for the new appointment you are getting. If you commit a corrupt act or not, we deal with you through the right procedures in the House."
