    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I know Hon. Chepkong’a is going to discharge his duty. Unless the Committee found some integrity issues which we would deal with in terms of competence, capacity and ability to execute his duties, no one in this House will genuinely, without malice, come forth and say that Hon. Chepkong’a does not qualify for this position. I urge him that as he joins the team of eminent prominent Kenyans – men and women who are already in that Commission by virtue of being approved by this House – they need to understand and appreciate that the responsibility of PSC is to look after the welfare and interests of Members of Parliament and staff. It is not to play politics or send yourself so that you are seen to be good elsewhere. Sometimes we may fight to be seen to be good only to end up not discharging the duty you were given. That is why sometimes I agree with Hon. Keynan because he fights very hard for the welfare and interest of Members to the extent that he gets a lot of criticism from the public. He soldiers on and because God knows that he is fighting with a clean heart. He has been elected to Parliament four times – something that many of us dream about."
