    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, we are taking this responsibility during the most difficult time when we are facing global challenges such as inflation, drought, conflicts in almost all the parts of Eastern Europe, including Ukraine and Russia. All in all, we need to forget the past and stop blaming or apportioning the failures of the past regime and concentrate with what is at hand. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the President was brief and articulate in terms of the issues he raised. One, he celebrated the issue of dislodging ethnicity in our country. We are yet to see it practically, and we are patiently waiting to see how he is going to balance the appointments – the cabinet secretaries, permanent secretaries, ambassadors and other appointments during this period. The other issue that the President articulated, which made every Kenyan happy, is that he committed himself in front of this august Housethat he is going to serve Kenyans fairly. Let us wait and give him time. But we expect each and every appointment to address the issue of gender, ethnicity and religion. I salute the President for that. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the President committed to rely on both Houses for oversight duties. I am, therefore, calling upon my colleagues who committed to preserve and protect the integrity of our Constitution to not make decisions based on how our parties are going to dictate to us, but on how we are going to protect the interests of Kenyans. For that reason, the President said he will overly rely on the two Houses on matters of legislation."
