    "content": "We also looked at their commitment to public service. Most of the nominees showed high levels of commitment to public duty. We saw it from the way they were answering questions. They said that they were willing and ready to serve the country. In conclusion, there is nothing that stops this House from impeaching any cabinet secretary who does not perform his or her functions. That responsibility is with us here. The day a cabinet secretary nominee does not perform his or her functions in accordance with the Constitution and the wishes of Kenyans, we have the responsibility to remove him from office through an impeachment. Lastly, I urge the nominees to kindly have in mind what Kenyans expect of them once they assume office. We interviewed the nominee for the Ministry of Interior and National Administration. We told him there were many complaints about deaths that occurred when Kenyans were demonstrating. He has to put into consideration the sanctity of life. Kenyans must not die for exercising their freedoms and rights. Demonstration is allowed in the country, but the rights of other Kenyans must be respected during demonstrations. We looked at everything possible and concluded that 19 nominees were suitable for office. I am proud of my colleagues whom I was with in the same party, and who have now joined the Executive. It has proved to me that the Raila Odinga Academy School of Politics is the best in this country. Look at the kind of nominees they have donated to the Executive. Hon. Hassan Ali Joho, Hon. Oparanya, Hon. Opiyo Wandayi, and Hon. Mbadi are the best nominees and experts that this country can have. When they appeared before the Committee, it was perplexed. They said they did not know that the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) had that kind of expertise. We thought ODM only consisted of hecklers, and people who throw stones and make noise in this town. Now we have proved to Kenyans and this House that the best expertise is found in ODM. With those few remarks, I second the Motion."
