Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will be very brief because the Members who have spoken before me have covered the grounds adequately.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. He had a chance to contribute and he supported the Report. We heard him last week. I do not think he has anything new to tell us.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Report is highly contradictory in that there are no adverse remarks on the nominees. The Committee said that they reject the nominees only in the last paragraph. Otherwise, there is nothing which is mentioned adversely about the nominees.

Two, as it has been said by my colleagues, Mr. Njuguna was rejected for being aged. However, they disqualified a young one who fits the age bracket of being a youth. Therefore, there is a lot of contradiction.

Thirdly, they emphasised on the issue of dual citizenship of Ms. Leila. I know her. Her family spreads from Thika to Kajiado to Nairobi to Eldoret and to Isiolo. Therefore, it is not right for this House to destroy the careers of the citizens of this country when it is very difficult to get a job.

The issue about Public Service (Values and Principles) Act entails high standards of professionalism and ethical values. Indeed, if all these values, as it is enshrined in the Constitution, are upheld, we will not have the need to talk about amending this Bill.

I am saying this because in the Constitution we are told that public servants must uphold high standards of professionalism yet when you go into these offices, you will find public servants conversing in their mother tongues.
