"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the appointment of Hon. Samuel Kiprono Chepkong’a to the PSC. I worked with Hon. Chepkong’a. He was a good guy, but like any other human being, he also had shortcomings. It is said better the devil you know than the angel you do not know. It reminds me when we were debating the amendment I brought to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption (EACC) Act. That amendment was to send away the secretariat for vetting. We worked very well. Hon. Chepkong’a as a person, worked very well as the Chair of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee. At that time, the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee worked on the statutes, which had a time frame. I know Hon. Chepkong’a overworked himself. He went overboard. He even went beyond extra hours until he forgot the people of Ainabkoi and it cost him. I confirm that Hon. William Chepkut is very popular. I know this position lasts six years. When we give this job to Hon. Chepkong’a, he should let William Chepkut continue being the Member of Parliament for Ainabkoi during the next term. He should not even bother to go and contest."
