    "content": "We are aware that it is us who developed this rule; that before a nominee is approved for appointment to a State office, we must get confirmation about that person from the EACC, DCI and other state agencies. That, therefore, means that even someone who is under investigation, not even charged in court, should not ordinarily be approved for appointment to the State office. Therefore, a case where it is even in the public domain that the nominee has not only been investigated, but prosecution has been recommended against him and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has gone ahead to have him arrested and taken to court and the matter is in court. How then would anyone imagine that, that person can hold a State office? Therefore, the issue of nomination of Dr. Chumo is clearly, and without any contradiction, had to be rejected. If I were him, if he was a man of high integrity, he would have appeared before the Committee and told them thus: “I would like to excuse myself from this vetting. I want to decline the nomination until I have sorted out my case in court and then, if the appointing authority finds it fit to give me another appointment, I would gladly take.”"
