    "content": "The matter we are dealing with is very serious. The second letter came on 10th December 2015 after the Clerk wrote a letter. It says:- “Vetting of nominees for appointment as Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries (PSs).” Under subtitle Daniel Kazungu Muzee, Nancy Karigithu and Eng. Victor Kyalo, it says:- “The Commission has undertaken verification of the information received on the above nominees and our findings are that there is no evidence currently to warrant an adverse recommendation.” Now, let me talk to the Committee Chair. As the one who oversees them, this Commission has not lived to the acts and expectations we expect from them. You need to invite them and even grill them on their own documents. That is why we made you the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. You are one of the best Chairs. Please call them and ask them why they give conflicting information on public servants. Why do I say so? There are many Kenyans who have lost their jobs as cabinet secretaries, PSs and as CEOs because of such letters. Today, there are people whose careers are in jeopardy. There are people who have built careers but, just because of one letter like this, today they are at home. We are under obligation, as the people’s representatives, to oversee institutions that we created. Those institutions must live to the independency and integrity that their Acts provides them. That was for the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, my good friend. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
