Linturi","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":69,"legal_name":"Franklin Mithika Linturi","slug":"franklin-linturi"},"content":"Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope that this gentleman, Mr. Mutyambai, is listening and taking note of what the Senators are saying; or the words of advice or wisdom that they are giving. Let me congratulate him for coming this far, because it has been quite a rigorous process from the time it started to where it is now. He has proved to be a man that Kenyans, through this House and the sister House, have made recommendations for his appointment, which we are hereby debating today. Going by the mood of the House, I can see him getting a nod for the appointment to this important office. I want to remind him that when he assumes this office, his status will change. He will move from the status of a public officer to that of a State Officer. The status of a State Officer is so unique, especially because he is being appointed. According to the provisions of Article 73(2), a person is appointed as State Officer completely on the basis of personal integrity, competence and suitability. I have looked at his CV and I have no doubt in my mind that, going by the experience and the story that is given, he is a person of integrity."}
