    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Report of the Committee on the consideration of nominees for appointment as cabinet secretaries. I am particularly impressed by the first candidate, the nominee for the Ministry of Interior and National Administration. I come from Laikipia, where we have a lot of insecurity incidents. Our people live in hell. Since that person was appointed Cabinet Secretary in 2022, he has calmed the area. People used to be killed, animals stolen, women raped, and others maimed, but things have since changed. I am sure that the Members who come from the North Rift will agree with me that things have changed in our regions. That is one Cabinet Secretary who speaks very little, but does a lot. In the previous Government, we had somebody who was very boastful in a similar position. He would talk a lot and shout but, eventually, he would do very little. Things have changed today. I remember a Cabinet Secretary in the previous Government who came to my place sometime back, because people had been killed. He talked very tough. He said such incidents would not happen again because he would bring commandos to work with us. Bandits descended on our area the night the Cabinet Secretary took his plane and went back to Nairobi. They killed seven people and carried many livestock. Things are different today. Therefore, I support the Motion. Thank you."
