"content": " I take this opportunity to support this Motion. To me, Hon. Florence Kajuju is a very strong lady. Actually, I support her nomination because she is a very able lady. She is a very outgoing and committed lady. I have worked with her. Therefore, this is the right job for her. The work is well cut out for her. We want this Commission to be independent. There are lots of complaints out there. This is the right time and the right place. I think she is up to the task. However, with Ndung’u, much as most Members have said that she had a very difficult work, which I agree, I think she messed up the political parties’ docket that was given to her although she was in an acting position. She messed up quite a bit. People have complained. I have complained myself. We even sent a list of voters. It was all messed up. Let us not pretend about it. She was there. It is good riddance so that we can get a better person who is more committed to that position. I support her nomination. I hope she will work diligently under Hon. Kajuju because I know Hon. Kajuju is a very strong woman. She is going to be pushed around. I also want to say that while receiving complaints, let us address issues beyond just reports. For example, we have cases of the Teachers’ Service Commission (TSC), the National Police Service, advocates and IPOA. We want to deal with those cases systematically and get to the root cause of most of them so that our people, and some of us who have been receiving such complaints from the people we represent here, are protected. I hope they will go beyond the reports that we will be getting. I suggest and hope that that is going to be the work of this Commission although it has been there. I did not even know it has been there because we have never heard about them out there. They should go around the whole country from place to place.
