    "content": " Hon Temporary Speaker, I rise to support this Motion. But before I do that, allow me to thank His Excellency the President of the Republic of Kenya, William Samoei Ruto, for appointing these very able men and women to serve in his Cabinet and carry the agenda of his Government to the next level. Allow me to also thank the Committee on Appointments which sat for many hours and took its time to vet the nominees and gave its recommendations. I would like to say the men and women who sat in that Committee are astute lawmakers and I am sure they did put into cognisance every aspect of what they were supposed to look for to come up with these names. These are people who have served this country in various capacities and there is no reason whatsoever for anyone to insinuate that some of them are not fit to serve in the Cabinet. Some examples have been given that nominee Hon. Aisha Jumwa was vetted and allowed to vie for the governorship but she did not make it. She was allowed to vie because she was qualified. The nominee, Hon. Frankline Mithika Linturi is a person who has served this country in various capacities and has proven beyond doubt that he is capable of serving in any capacity. I want to passionately implore upon the legislators in this House not to have a divided mind when it comes to approving these nominees. Hon Temporary Speaker, turning to Hon. Peninah Malonza, she was vetted for the position and it was recommended that she did not perform very well. It is good to know that there are people who suffer from a condition called socio-phobia. When these people face a panel, they do not perform so well. However, that does not mean that they are not capable. I join the rest of the Members who are supporting this Motion to say that I support with an amendment that Hon. Peninah Malonza be part of these nominees we are approving in this House. I want to implore upon every Member not to have dissenting voices, when it comes to passing the nominees whom His Excellency the President, in his wisdom, found it fit to nominate. I submit, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
