    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I know what he wanted to do. I am grateful because he wanted to call on something like Standing Order No. 95. But, I am sorry I have had that chance to contribute because of this great lady, Ms. Wangui Muchiri. She is a lady we have seen on our screens. She is a lady who is qualified. During the interview, we saw that this lady scored a whopping 85 per cent while the second person had only 72 per cent. It is also kudos to the women of Kenya and our young daughters who are always aspiring to hold great positions in this country. I appreciate the work of the Committee. I appreciate the work of Waihenya and his Committee. I am also very grateful that this lady has shown great concern in the security industry. She will be a big pillar in the SRC when we are talking about issues of the police. The police have been having young men and women committing suicide and all sorts of things because they have no one who is fighting for them and their rights. They need to live in good conditions. They need to be remunerated well. They need to be motivated well. I am sure Wangui Muchiri, being an expert in communication and an expert in business management, will fill that gap of being the fighter for the police and the fighter for our young men and women in uniform. Therefore, I am in full support of the Committee’s Report. I am in full support of our President for appointing Elizabeth Wangui Muchiri. I am even proud that I will be able to meet this icon of young girls one of these fine days. She has grown up in her career; working in the NTV very well, going to the Republic of South Africa, working in the USA embassy, working in the Office of the President and becoming a director of communication. She is a woman that has grown her career in a short time. Within her age of 46 years, she has grown her career to the peak. Now, becoming a member of the SRC will be a great thing too. I am in support of her nomination and the Committee’s work. I hope that we will continue having more and more of our daughters holding these positions, and more and more of our police having a better life in their environment. That way we will have less and less of them committing suicide and shooting each other. It is because they will feel represented well in the SRC. With those few remarks, I support."
