I wish him well in his new appointment. I also want to say that he has played an important part in my political life. In 2011, he was ahead of me by several months. There was a by-election in Kamukunji, and I was not very keen in vying at that moment. I got a call from my brother, Hon. Duale, and our current President, William Ruto. I went to see them at the Transnational Bank building, and they convinced me that I should vie in Kamukunji. To a certain extent, I accepted that challenge of leaving my job at the UN to come and vie for the Kamukunji seat. I thank him for his continuous support to me. I wish him the best as the new CS of Defence. I also wish my sister, Alice – the lioness from Kandara Constituency – well in her new appointment. You are a formidable woman, and a very good parliamentarian. I always admired you because you really raised the name of the late Bildad Kaggia, who was the first Member for Kandara."}
