    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, I wish to support this Report and also those nominations by his Excellency the President. When you look at the curriculum vitas (CVs) and the qualifications of Mr. Abdirizak, Mr. Omollo, Mr. Nzomo, Mr. Esipila and Ms. Wambui, those are the most qualified Kenyans that the President has given us to approve to form EACC. I want to go on record by saying that if those nominees will not be able to deliver on the fight against corruption, Kenyans must soul-search and ask them: “What do we do?” On the composition of this Commission, I am happy that diversity, regional balance and the face of Kenya has been observed to a great extent. We cannot have the 42 Kenyan tribes in EACC. The President has appeared to spread the cake across the country. He has observed the spirit and the principle of merit to give us the best Kenyans. In this list, we have accountants, bankers, lawyers, governance experts, civil society and anti-corruption campaigners. The list that is before this House for approval is the best tool that we can use for the anti-corruption campaign in Kenya. Their job is already cut out. Lifestyle audits must be done in the Public Service, at both the national and county levels. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
