    "content": "There were some people who were expecting us, perhaps, to mistreat Ben Chumo or to create a lot of drama and theatrics. But the law requires us to maturely and decisively ensure that nominees presented to us are asked questions as per the Act. The Act lays down the procedure, and even the sample questions in the Schedule, on how we should vet. We have no apologies for having sat down to vet the nominee. We have been up to the task. We have deeply vetted the nominee, and we invite Members to discuss our Report and support us in rejecting this nominee. However, we must send a word to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to make sure those nominees who are presented to the President or Parliament are as white as snow. That is because the work expected of them, of serving the nation, is important. We ask them that, as the institutions which have been mandated by the Constitution, they must live up to the expectations of Kenyans in terms of making sure that they investigate nominees to great depth and know what kind of personalities are being nominated for public appointments. With those few remarks, I beg to second."
