The argument that has been propelled here by Hon. Kimunya is more subjective than objective. I want every nominee to be subjected to that kind of scrutiny. There are nominees in that list who have no qualifications at all. They are there. Let us not be subjective but objective. The law says that you must have 10 years’ experience. This nominee has five years’ experience in public service. Which other public service can one do other than being a Senator or a Member of Parliament. In your own wisdom, I want you to give a ruling that this lady is ...

As much as I agree with what Hon. Olago has said that the people who are feeling the pinch of this matter are the accountants, who are in this House, there are other accountants who are out there. This amendment is curing quacks who pretend to be accountants. We have not seen the certificates of the accountants who are in this House; we are just assuming that they are accountants. It is okay, we agree that they are accountants who are qualified.

I have not mentioned any names. This amendment is very important that this House must carry it, so that the profession of accountancy can be held. It is not about Members who are here.

Hon. Speaker, I want to draw your attention to the fact that debate on the approval of these nominees is going on, but the media is reporting that we have approved those nominees.

If they are approved, these nominees must know that they are not being formed into a commission for the ...

four people we listen to in this country, namely, President Uhuru, his Deputy, the former Prime Minister and Hon. Atwoli. Once Atwoli has nominated someone, you do not ask who that person is. You just approve him or her. With those few remarks, I want to give other Members a chance. I support the Report.

(c) in section (B) of Part I by deleting the expression “1st September 2016” appearing in paragraph (ii) and substituting thereof the expression “1st September 2018.” This is a matter that we dealt with yesterday and it went through except that there was a typo error where we quoted 2020 instead of 2018. So it is just a change of date. Members need to know that we are just changing the duration from 2020 to 2018. That is all. We are on page 1102. Hon. Members, yesterday you made your voices heard on this but there was a mistake which ...
