    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. From the outset, I support this appointment of Archbishop (Rtd.) Dr. Eliud Wabukala Wamukekhe. I agree that Archbishop (Rtd.) Dr. Eliud Wabukala Wamukekhe is equal to the task. I believe Archbishop (Rtd.) Dr. Eliud Wabukala Wamukekhe can perform the job. What I do not agree with is that he could be any better than his predecessors. Why I say so is that the previous holders of this very exalted office have been men of stature and men of great credentials. What has made them fail to perform their task is lack of political will. The Archbishop (Rtd.) Dr. Eliud Wabukala Wamukekhe will only be able to perform this role if he gets unqualified political support. It is not just a matter of political will. It must be a demonstrated political will. This has been shown in jurisdictions or countries where we have seen political will to fight corruption. We have seen it next door here, in Tanzania, what President Magufuli has done within a very short period of time. He has led by example. We have seen, on the extreme end, what President Duterte in the Philippines has been doing with drug barons. What we want in this country, what we need in this country is leadership from the front, by political leadership, starting with the President himself. The President must demonstrate that, indeed, he has zero tolerance to corruption by dealing with the corrupt elements within his office."
