    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Bill. I have a number of reasons for supporting this Bill. First of all, I want to thank Mr. Ethuro for his foresight and timeliness in bringing this Bill to Parliament at this crucial hour. We are in an era where we want to assert the authority of the legislature. We want Parliament to take its role. We are taking this country towards a parliamentary democracy. Each and every one of us in this House went out to our respective constituencies to campaign in order to become a Member of Parliament. None of us went to campaign to become a Minister or an Assistant Minister. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg your indulgence to tell Mr. Ethuro, the Mover of this Bill, to give me his ears. We went out and campaigned to be Members of Parliament; nobody, including myself, went out to campaign to become a Minister. We have seen that in every Government appointment to public office, starting with the Cabinet, the Kenya Anti- Corruption Commission (KACC) and other senior public officers, Parliament must give its approval and authority. It is only Parliament that represents the people of this country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have seen the politics of this country. During campaigns, the big boys will lead the big political parties and those who come from the big tribes. They will go out and cheat politicians saying that, âYou join my party, build my career, and vote for me, we will give you a Cabinet post. That should end. Once the communities and regions vote for their political parties as President, what do they do? They go back to their tribal cocoons and, dish Cabinet posts to members of their tribes. They dish Cabinet posts to their friends overlooking education and integrity, which this Bill is talking about."
