    "content": "like to congratulate His Excellency, Dr Samoei Ruto for seeing it wise to give the Kamba community three Cabinet Secretaries. Previous administrations have sidelined us. I am happy for the appointments. Congratulations for that. We have to give credit where it is due. I have gone through the report quickly. I took some time to watch some of the nominees appear before the Committee. We cannot disagree with what the majority have agreed on. On the issue of my sister, let me declare my interest. Peninah Malonza comes from my county. She really performed as deputy governor. Compassion International is doing so much in our county right now. She was awarded as the best performer in that NGO. She has exhibited many good leadership characteristics. When you look at her work experience, academic credentials and leadership skills when she served as the deputy governor, they are all tick. On what basis are they discrediting my sister? I am begging the Members of this House to pass Hon. Peninah Malonza’s appointment very soon so that she can begin work. We are tired of waiting for this. The vetting process has taken too long. Kenyans need to start working and we cannot work if the Executive arm of Government is not fully constituted. I do not have much to say. I am defending the appointment of Hon. Peninah Malonza as the CS for Tourism, Wildlife and Heritage. I know she is going to perform because she has performed before and there is no doubt that she will be the best CS in our country. With those remarks, I support."
