    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to second the nomination of Dr. Patrick Omwanda Amoth to be appointed Director General for Health. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am a member of the Committee on Health of the Senate. I was privileged to sit in a joint sitting with Members of the National Assembly that undertook this very important process. We must applaud the 2010 Constitution that has made the accountability card for those who want to serve in the public very high. We must thank those who sent memoranda to the Committee. Specifically, I acknowledge and thank Dr. Wahome, who I believe brought about a 500-page memorandum objecting to the suitability of Dr. Patrick Amoth. Even though the Committee did not agree with the issues that were raised by Dr. Wahome, it demonstrated to the public that Parliament undertakes a fair process that is open to the public and affords Kenyans an opportunity to raise any objection they have on the suitability of a candidate, provided the memorandum and the reasons raised can demonstrate that such a candidate is not suitable. Though Dr. Wahome's objection did not carry the day, he got a hearing. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services, Senate."
