    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for this chance. First and foremost is to congratulate the select team that was interviewing these nominees. They did a good job and I wish to congratulate all of them. I support each and every nominee that went through the interview. This is because we all listened, watched and know some of them. In fact, I want to talk about this lady Peninah Malonza. I met her on Mashujaa Day and spoke to her. I think she is eloquent; she knows what she is supposed to do.

She is a strong leader whom we have seen in this country. Let us not use political malice to discredit her. She is a strong leader. She has served in the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) as a Commissioner. She should not be condemned for the fact that she divorced the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM). It is ODM that told us she is a leader and nominated her to the Commission. Hon. Wandayi tells us that Hon. Mudavadi will be an errand boy, for heaven’s sake. We know he has worked in this country. In fact, he has been a Vice President and a Minister for Finance. He cannot be an errand person. He can do the work and supervise Cabinet Secretaries. It is upon this House to approve these nominees. You have seen the Committee Members. You cannot get a person who will not help you perform your role.
