    "content": "Right now, we are beginning to realize that when people are brought before us to be vetted, it is a very important function. When you look at the mistakes that have been made by some of the people who have been approved by Parliament, we begin to realize that we should be more fastidious when they are brought before us for purposes of vetting. Unfortunately, the Senate probably vets only the Inspector General (IG) of the National Police Service. I think part of the new constitutional dispensation, we should borrow from the Americans that the smaller House, normally is better for purposes of vetting public officers, but if you take somebody before a panel of 100 people, that is not an interview, that is a baraza . So, I hope there will be support to make sure that public officers who occupy independent offices and commissions should be brought before the Senate and the others can go to the National Assembly."
