"content": "having looked at the history and what has happened during the vetting, I will, with reservations, still say that we will have to see what that gentleman can do in the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. On the issue of appointing politicians, I can see we have three politicians that have come in these appointments. Two of them were currently serving with us and we know their capabilities. I have no doubt with what Mwangi Kiunjuri can do. Initially, he was an Assistant Minister in the Ministry of Water and Natural Resources and he is a man who is very well versed with the management of public resources. We will pass this list without a doubt so that he can do a good job. As I finish, I also want to reiterate the issue of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). Their investigation needs to be a bit thorough and their reporting has to be consistent. They have to be seen as people who are consistent in what they are bringing. They cannot have a report today which they deny the following day. Knowing who the EACC is in this country, if you are reported to have a case with EACC, it is a general belief by the public that there is something wrong with what you may have involved with. So, they need to be very careful because they can tarnish careers. They can jeopardize peoples’ positions in the society and even the members of the public and families where they emanate from. With those few remarks, I support the appointments of these individuals into their Ministries. Thank you for giving me the opportunity."
