In 2027, I am likely to have a rising political star; maybe, I need to pray for you to remain where you are or even go higher. We have had a good working relationship, and have had an admirable work ethics. Hon. Duale, I want to ask you to continue with your consultative nature of leadership. I worked with you, and Hon. Kimunya as Leaders of the Majority Party and you were better than him in matters consultation, and that I can say without any fear or favour. To Hon. Alice Wahome, we did not interact too closely, but we have both been Members of Parliament, and I have no doubt that you will make sure that the people of Kenya get access to water. You have been principled and I urge you to continue that way and as you have put it, you are going to be a Cabinet Secretary for the Republic of Kenya. Thank you very much. I wish you all well including our colleagues who are not in this House like Sen. Murkomen. Let us not forget Hon. Soipan who is another strong lady. I congratulate all the nominees who have gone through the approval. My time is up. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."}
