    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I hope my minutes have not been taken away by your explanation. I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute. From the outset, I want to support the appointment of Archbishop (Rtd.) Dr. Eliud Wabukala Wamukekhe for this very challenging job. Indeed, it is a job that Kenyans require to be done really well. It is because corruption is an evil that it has really and badly dented the image of Kenya, not just locally but also internationally. It is a cancer that has defied all medicines, including witch doctors. People have tried and nothing has happened. We have tried almost all disciplines, as people who have spoken before have said. Every discipline in this country that we know about and could be seen to combat this problem has been tried. We have tried rich men and businessmen and we thought they were rich enough, therefore they would not easily be corrupted. It failed. We have tried even motivational speakers, who we thought would deal with it very well by talking to people not to be corrupt. It never worked. The businessmen, boxers and every other profession we have tried are not working. It is going to be the first time that we are going to try a very humble religious person. Probably given his age, he does not look like he will be interested in making any more wealth in this country. Therefore, we want to believe it will almost be impossible to corrupt him as his position shows. I like what he said when he was being interviewed. If his declaration of wealth was just a few cows and probably a house, because a man needs a house to live in, he does not look like he will need more. Therefore, I think we may have struck gold this time in the appointment of this very deeply religious person. I have heard most people say that the archbishop is soft spoken, he looks very humble and therefore soft. I want to believe that the fight against corruption is not about physical strength. It is not going to be fought by boxing or shouting match or by being rough and tough. It The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
