    "content": "Leadership and integrity are critical components because the nominee is going to oversee the EACC, which primarily deals with matters of ethics, leadership and integrity. Therefore, it was very important for us, as a Committee, to satisfy ourselves that the nominee, indeed, qualifies in this respect. While determining the suitability of the nominee to be appointed, the law requires the Committee to take into account the requirements of leadership and integrity under Chapter Six of the Constitution. In this regard, the Committee took into account the following areas. I will be brief on this. The Committee looked at Article 73(2) of the Constitution, which provides for principles of leadership and integrity and Articles 75(1), 75(3), 77 and 78 of the Constitution. All these articles of the Constitution deal with matters of integrity and it was the business of my Committee to satisfy itself that, indeed, the nominee qualifies in this respect. Upon doing a background check with the relevant Government agencies, hearing from the nominee and examining his CV, certificates and testimonials, the Committee was satisfied that the nominee passed the leadership and integrity test."
