    "content": "of the House on Thursday, 1st December 2022, and pursuant to the provisions of Article 155(3)(b) of the Constitution, this House approves the appointment of the following persons as Principal Secretaries: (i) Mr. Patrick Mariru, State Department for Defence. (ii) Dr. Korir Sing’oei, State Department for Foreign Affairs. (iii) Ms. Roseline Njogu, State Department for Diaspora. (iv) Mr. Abdi Dubat, State Department for East African Community Affairs. I ask the House to approve the appointment of the four nominees. They all demonstrated knowledge of their specific fields. They ticked all the boxes. Hon. Patrick Mariru, the nominee for the State Department for Defence was on the Speaker’s Panel in the last Parliament. He is an extremely qualified lawyer. He demonstrated a lot of eagerness and zeal to serve in the State Department for Defence. He ticked all the boxes. In the collective wisdom of the Committee, we felt that he is suitable to serve in that position. Even before Abraham Sing’oei was nominated as the Principal Secretary in the State Department for Foreign Affairs, he had already worked with the former Deputy President in almost the same position even though there was no such office. The Committee found him suitable. He ticked all the boxes. The same applies to Madam Roseline Catherine Njogu. She is a very accomplished scholar who is still doing her PhD. In short, all the nominees demonstrated their abilities, education and suitability. In its wisdom, the Committee requests that this House considers that Report and approves all the nominees. I beg to move and request Hon. Sloya to second."
