    "content": "Prof. Margaret Kobia has been very consistent in her work as a civil servant. She has been a role model to the girl-child, particularly at the place she comes from called Kerwa, where she has also participated a lot in community development. She has specifically dug a borehole for the community with the little income she gets as a civil servant. She has been very consistent in guiding and becoming a counsellor to our young girls who aspire to be like her. Being an advisor to the United Nations (UN) on public administration is not a simple thing. We need to appreciate and, as the people of Buuri, we feel that we have greatly been honoured by the President for giving Margaret Kobia the opportunity to serve in his Cabinet. I have interacted with her personally. I have interacted with two other nominees. One is Keriako Tobiko, whom I know personally as a very courageous and determined person from his background. On top of it all, he is academically qualified. I have also interacted with Rashid. As everybody has said, it is time to respect even those from humble backgrounds, like me. We thank the President because he has found it nice to honour that young person whose parents could not take to school because of lack of fees. Mr. Echesa showed that he is not poor in intelligence. He is rich in intelligence but he was not given an opportunity like some of us. Our mission for the next five years is to deliver the four key pillars. This team is going to give the President the best desires of making those four pillars a success. We should not engage ourselves with NASA because we know that theirs are retrogressive politics. Our mission is to serve this nation and to worry about the people who elected us. As I join others in congratulating the President and these nominees, may I say that the people of Meru, and specifically the people from Buuri, are excited to see the first Cabinet Secretary appointed from our area. Other constituencies had theirs in the past government. This is for us. We are so proud. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support this list. We do not need to continue debating because I, Rindikiri, has spoken. I think we have agreed that I am the only grey-haired man with wisdom. I think we might lose the nice flavour if we continue debating on this matter. Hon. Speaker, put the Question so that we approve this list and move forward. Thank you."
