    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First and foremost, I stand to support this Motion of extension of the period for consideration of nominees. Just as the Mover has said, it is constitutional. It does not mention Jubilee or NASA. We are here as Members of Parliament to carry out our constitutional mandate. The Motion talks about the provisions of Section 13 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act relating to extension of time. There is nothing here that mentions Jubilee. We need to reduce tensions. Yesterday, we listened very keenly to Members from the NASA Coalition. They were concerned and we, on this side, supported their concerns. It was very clear that they needed the support of the Government. They needed security. For them to have security, we need to approve these Principal Secretaries. These are the people who will ensure that they have security. Moreover, we are not forcing anyone to come to Parliament. I have been elected by the people of Turkana South to come here and represent them, just the way they have been elected to come The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
