    "content": "The fifth point is that his academic credentials are above board. He is well read and has many certificates among them from the University of Bradford where I was. Reason No.6 why my Committee is asking the House to approve the candidate is that he satisfies the requirements of Chapter Six of the Constitution. It is very critical that when we appoint public servants, they should meet the requirements of Chapter Six of the Constitution which Kenyans know is about integrity. This is one of the few candidates who, when his integrity was put to question, we found he has never received an audit query and yet, he was the CEO of the Privatization Commission. The evidence is that he was cleared by the DCI, the Registrar of Political Parties (RPP), he does not hold any seat in political parties and was also cleared by HELB because he paid his loan in accordance with the law and EACC. When he was cleared by those institutions, we just had to present him to the House as fit to hold the position. Reason No.7 from my Committee is that the nominee has never been charged in a court of law having been cleared by the DCI. He has not been involved in the fracas we hear around. Reason No.8 from my Committee is that, as stipulated under Article 75(1) of the Constitution, he has no potential conflict of interest. My Committee looked through this and we can confirm to the House that there is no conflict of interest as he joins us. Reason No.9 why we want to convince you and the people of Kenya to agree is that he satisfies the requirements of Article 77(1) of the Constitution in that, he does not intend to participate in any other gainful employment."
