    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to second Hon. Kamket’s amendment. I want to state and remind my colleagues that we have many Kenyans who are diligent and committed to helping this country. We must be persuaded that while we are making gigantic recommendations that are going to help this country, we must be able to hold back and think and say that we are not going to destroy careers of men and women who have contributed to this country. We must look at posterity. On 30th March 2018, Mr. Peter Kinyua declared that interest when he was interviewed by the committee. I do not think the mere fact that his wife was operating an eco-friendly restaurant before he was appointed should take him to a rigorous, punitive process. Is it a problem if you have a wife who operates a restaurant before you are appointed? Was that Peter Kinyua’s mistake or are there other underbellies that we do not know? So I want to persuade members of the committee: The recommendations that you have made will help this country except for that number 22 that we need to rethink in the context of men and of this country who work so hard to make our country proud. Thank you. I second."
