    "content": " As much as I support the Report, I have a few concerns which are genuine. Since we came into this House in August 2022, we have been approving and supporting candidates who have been nominated to various countries. As much as we belong to the larger Maa Community, and my colleagues would agree with me, there is no single day that we have seen the name of a Samburu woman or man forwarded for vetting in this House. I do not know why the top leadership of this country has never seen potential in giving opportunities to people from Samburu County. I make an honest request, and I hope the President is watching me, that for the two names that have been rejected, he can give one slot to a Samburu woman and one to a Samburu man. We have never vetted any person from my community and yet, we are equal to other Kenyans. We want to see the face of Kenya in all the appointments that are done by the Government. Our kind request to the Government and the appointing authority is that we also have competent men and women who can serve in those positions. Kindly give us the two positions that have been rejected in this House today. Give them to the Samburu people. A Samburu man and a Samburu woman. We have competent people who have gone to school and can serve this country well. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
