    "content": "We may do things here for convenience or because the nominee is our friend. However, we are bound by the law. Remember that this is a constitutional Commission that is set up pursuant to Article 230 of the Constitution. Therefore, whatever we do here is a constitutional matter. We swore in this House to uphold the Constitution of Kenya and not to do things because of friendships or because we want to be sympathetic. When you make your ruling, I urge you to be guided by whether this particular nominee’s experience, which is detailed in this Report, fits with what the law says. If it does not, then we will legislate here, appoint somebody and commit an illegality. Somebody will go to court and challenge the legality of the appointment, and it will be nullified."
