"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to raise my voice on this Motion. I appreciate the Committee on Appointments for recommending the two ladies to these positions. I want to make it very clear that this Government belongs to all of us. We are shareholders of this Government even though we are Opposition. We are all in one government. Hon. Asukul is my constituent. I have known her from my childhood. She has done a lot by working with Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) like Oxfam and World Vision, among others, that support the ASALs. I want to appreciate His Excellency Dr William Samoei Ruto for considering the Turkana nation as part of his Government. In addition, I appreciate His Excellency Eng Raila Amollo Odinga for having proposed Turkana, the first lady to sit in the Executive. This will bring our nation together. By considering the marginalised community, they will consider themselves part of this Government."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice, in particular, on the job well done by the Committee on Appointments, led by the Hon. Speaker. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also thank the appointing authority for proposing these two ladies. As the Secretary in charge of the legal affairs of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party, it is in line with our constitution to ensure that we bring as many ladies to areas of leadership as much as possible. Therefore, Madam Beatrice and Madam Dorcas are aligned in our constitution. Second, on the Attorney-General issue, I have known Dorcas Oduor for many years as a commercial practitioner. She joined the Attorney-General Chambers as a state prosecutor and as a state counsel. She has climbed up the ladder. Therefore, she knows all the cracks and corners in the Attorney-General Chambers. The Attorney-General Chambers is the largest law firm. It requires somebody who has the intricacies of running that organisation. On one side, it is litigation, and on the other, it is the commercial side of the Government. There is no better person to run that organisation than Dorcas Oduor. Finally, the Broad-Based Government is now working. If it were not for the proposal of a Broad-Based Government, we would not have the qualities and the knowledge of Dorcas Oduor. I, therefore, support the Motion."

"content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Firstly, allow me to congratulate our two gallant heroines. Before the ravaging floods of the 60s in Nyando constituency, the family lived there. Then they moved to Muhoroni Constituency. And just like Hon. K'oyoo, I also claim a stake. I have known Dorcas and she is beautiful, both physically and mentally. She has what it takes to run our legal systems in the office of the Attorney-General if given time to operate. The litany of cases lost in our courts of law against the Government is a testament that there is a disconnect somewhere. Somebody is not being given an ample opportunity to serve this country in that capacity. If other people are advising the President over and above the advice coming from the Office of the Attorney- General, that has to stop so that Dorcas can be allowed to serve this country that she loves. I have known Beatrice Asukul. I sit on the National Executive Committee of the Orange Democratic Movement Party. She delivers her messages and her thoughts in such a humorous way that leaves everybody shocked by how she does it. I have complete confidence in these two ladies I have known very well over the years. The dockets that have been given to them will have what we call rapid flight towards progress. Therefore, I support and congratulate these two remarkable women. Thank you."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me a chance. First, I want to congratulate the Committee for the well-done job of coming up with these ladies. They were thoroughly investigated, and the two ladies ranked very highly in the ranking by the Committee. Secondly, of course, this is the first time we will have a lady as Attorney-General of this country. Looking at what she has done and what she has gone through, we are going to have a lady who will do a good job as an Attorney-General. Therefore, with that experience and, of course, having gone through the rank and file, we are very happy that she will be the first lady Attorney-General since Independence. Thirdly, I want to thank His Excellency the President for having nominated the lady from a far-off community. They are actually my neighbours. She, too, is going to do an excellent job. When she was vetted again, it was clear that she could do a good job. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
