    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance. As I add my voice, a few things come out very clearly that, when we are doing the vetting as Parliament and as committees, we need to do our work very clearly and in a very exact way like the way Hon. Mbadi has almost alluded to. I like the President because whenever we make a law here and the President feels it is not correct in his perspective, he just returns it like what we always see here. So, Parliament must also be very clear when it is doing its work so that we do not become a Parliament that is too lenient. That is because when we were passing the name of that lady, there was a little bit of leniency on the issue of dual citizenship. So, to some extent, we failed and this is a wakeup call not only for Hon. Pukose and that Committee, but the entire House so that when we are doing the vetting – and the nominees to the NLC are here – we are very clear on the voice we give to Kenyans. Lastly, I must caution that it would be too early to vilify this lady too much without the proper evidence that we require so that, when we pronounce ourselves on her, we are actually basing ourselves on facts. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
