    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support the Report, but with a very heavy heart. It is always women who are vetted; only to find themselves in the situation that Ms. Soi finds herself in. Having said that, it is important to understand that we are coming from a very delicate situation. I appreciate all the nominees, and I just want them to know that they come at a time when Kenyans felt that those who have gone home had became very proud. Those who were fired never understood who was at the gate. They never understood peoples’ challenges. They are human beings. Learn to appreciate your team, starting from even your tea-girl. Know or ask how she is or how he is. Those are the few things or just small values that matter, and Kenyans feel about them. When you get a title, you get entitled and think you have now become beyond the President. They should remember we have a President. Let them go to support him. He has not appointed you to become another President in your Ministry. He has appointed you to serve Kenyans. Therefore, even as we say we have three minutes to speak to this Report, one thing I will say is that we have to change the Appointments Act and put in very serious questions that we need to ask in this country. When you come and say my wealth is this amount, it is always good to expound so that Kenyans do not start thinking that you have made money for doing tenders with the Government. Just expound. We cannot blame the nominees. We can only blame what our Act provides. It is important to amend it. We will want to know whether you are a member of an association within your neighbourhood. We want to know even how you relate with your neighbours because you are coming to handle people. That is the other thing Kenyans were crying about. I support. It is time to work. Thank you."
