NAMELY or THAT IS

I’d like to know whether it’s appropriate to use NAMELY or THAT IS (i.e.) in the following sentences:

Surely I already know what the contents of our contract are (NAMELY? THAT IS?): that I am to work for you for a period of 18 months, after which time you will release me with my debt to you cancelled.

This shows how little they were aware of the challenge facing them (NAMELY? THAT IS?)–
to reestablish prosperity and the rule of law.

Shareholders drew their own conclusions (NAMELY? THAT IS?): that it was time to sell out.

It would be helpful to consider what Dr. Slabbert said at the conference in Johannesburg (NAMELY? THAT IS?) , that the Department of National Health has the capacity to deal with major health problems.
