    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, before appointment, there is a vetting that is done through the National Security and Intelligence Service (NSIS) and if there are any issues that make anybody unqualified for appointment, it is so done. There are cases where such vetting has disqualified nominees. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of qualifications, my learned senior knows that people who have attained sound education or sound public service and experience are capable of representing the country in any capacity anywhere. Indeed, there are certain stations where you need some background in military career. There are certain stations where you need some sound background in public life. There are other stations you need sound background in law and so on and so forth. For example, if you post somebody in a station where you need a lot of multi-lateral engagement like Addis Ababa, that is the reason we have Dr. Kathini Juma who is one of the most qualified women in this country. She is the former Executive Director of the Institute of Public Policy and Studies (IPPS) in South Africa, manning the station in Addis Ababa. From what I have read, I do not see anybody unqualified or unsuitable to hold office in the Republic of Kenya."
