    "content": "All I am saying is that Hon. Chepkong’a was too dedicated that he lost nominations and even after his party ordered for a rerun, he still lost. When he went independent, he still lost, but he was a fine gentleman. In nominating him, I want the House to look at the following points. One, are you satisfied that he is going to be able to assist the commission in providing services to Members as provided in the law? Two, will he be able to assist the commission in providing facilities to Members? Three, will he be able to provide suitable welfare for Members and staff? Four, is he the type of person who will be able to spend time with Members in the lounge or even in the bar? Lastly, is he the type of person who understands the law, applicable to PSC? Will he assist the Chairman of PSC who is you, Hon. Speaker, in determining legal issues like, can the Speaker be served with court pleadings as the Speaker? Under what circumstances can the PSC be sued? Under what circumstances can the name of the Speaker appear as a party in court pleadings? I can answer these questions in the affirmative because I know Hon. Chepkong’a. He will add value to the commission. When I say that, I say so with the privilege of having served as a commissioner in the 10th Parliament. I know what it entails. When Hon. Mbadi was talking about sycophancy and he said that Hon. Chepkong’a could go overboard because of sycophancy, he also confessed that he himself is a sycophant. “Sycophant” as an English word is negative. It cannot be positive irrespective of whoever you are a sycophant to. It has a negative connotation."
