    "content": "In conclusion, upon conducting the background check with relevant agencies, hearing the nominee and examining his credentials, the Committee made the following observations: First, the nominee’s academic credentials, professional training and experience met the requirements of Section 16(2). He is a Kenyan citizen born in Kilifi. He possesses a Bachelor’s Degree as required. He has over 10 years’ experience at management level in companies, agencies and institutions that he has worked in. He meets the requirements of Chapter 6 of the Constitution having been cleared by the DCI, KRA, Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP), HELB, and EACC. He is not a member of any political party. He is not a Member of Parliament or a member of county assembly (MCA). He has not been declared bankrupt or removed from office for contravening the provisions of the Constitution. There was no memorandum received from the public contesting his suitability. He has never been charged with a criminal offence in a court of law. He has never been dismissed from office under Article 75 of the Constitution and Article 77 on restriction of State officers. He demonstrated knowledge and understanding of the mandate and other pertinent issues relating to EACC. Therefore, in view of this, the Committee recommends that pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(1) of the EACC Act of 2011, this House approves the nomination of Major. (Rtd) Twalib Abdallah Mbarak for appointment as Secretary and Chief Executive Officer of the EACC by the appointing authority. I thank the Office of the Speaker, the Office of the Clerk and my colleagues, Members of this Committee, who spent three days vetting the nominee and retreated for two days to come up with this Report. I sincerely thank my colleagues for availing themselves to deal with this very important matter and for availing themselves again today so that we can go on record as the institution that vetted the next CEO of EACC. This House has pronounced that we should fight corruption by all means. With political will, enabling legislation and the new CEO, there is no reason why we cannot fight corruption as a country and bring it to an end so that Kenyans can access resources for their benefit. With those remarks, I beg to move and request Hon. Duale, the Leader of the Majority Party, to second the Motion."
