    "content": "I have looked at the Report and seen the objection of the Committee Members against Peninah Malonza. Having listened to the CS nominee during her presentation before the Committee, I think she is competent. They cannot just sit down as a Committee and judge people based on their oratory skills; how well, beautiful and fluently one can talk. Hon. Temporary Speaker, in this country we had a President called His Excellency the late Mwai Kibaki, who did not have good oratory skills. However, he really transformed this country. When you look at the CSs, I believe that the President did not pick them from people who attended his inauguration party. I am sure that these are people whom he sat down with. The Kenya Kwanza Coalition has a manifesto which addresses tourism, laws, delegation and various other issues in this country. When the President was picking these nominees, I am sure that he sat down with them and conceived his manifesto. When he picked Hon. Linturi as the CS for Agriculture, I am sure that he sat down with him to ensure that he understood his goal in agriculture well. When the President picked Prof. Kithure Kindiki as the CS for Interior and National Administration, I am sure that he sat down with him and agreed on the way forward for security in this country. I listened to Hon. Aisha Jumwa. I served with her in the last Parliament. She is qualified to hold the position of CS. I urge this House to drop the sideshows and approve the CSs. Regardless of our political affiliations and the coalitions we belong to, all of us went around this country and we promised Kenyans roads, water and good living standards. Since we were sworn in, it is now almost 60 days, and Kenyans are waiting for services. I urge this House to drop divisions and approve these CSs. As we talk right now, children are not attending school due to hunger, and Kenyans are waiting to see what we will do about that issue.
