    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At least, I have now been recognised as being in the House. My people in Bomet have been complaining. When I go home every weekend, they ask me what I do here when other people are talking. They say that they normally see me on television sleeping, and not contributing to any matter before the House. I have now learnt the game. Regarding the Motion on approval of Cabinet Secretaries, the Attorney-General and the Secretary to the Cabinet, I would like to go straight to the bone of contention regarding Madam Peninah Malonza. The President had included her in the list of nominees to the Cabinet. Some of us have come from the corporate sector, where people work but we never hear them talk. The lady was a Deputy Governor. Did Kitui County perform during her time or did it fail? Those are the pertinent questions that we should ask ourselves. There are people who talk too much but when it comes to service delivery, it is very difficult for them to articulate issues or to deliver. Peninah Malonza should not be left to the lynch mob. We should include her in the list of Cabinet Secretaries to be approved. The President went a long way to nominate her. We know that the area where the lady comes from did not support the Kenya Kwanza Government. The President did well by trying to diversify and unite Kenyans by even appointing people from areas that are perceived to have opposed the current Government. I find it very difficult to understand opposition Members, especially when they oppose one of their own. We are trying to help you. This lady comes from an area which supported the opposition side. We are doing this to try and unite the nation by bringing in people from areas perceived not to have supported us."
