    "content": "Hon. Speaker, imagine a Turkana woman will sit in the Cabinet of Kenya. For a long time, the Ministry of Health has suffered with non-medics at the helm. Today, we have a competent physician to head that Ministry and a lady for that matter. This is the biggest achievement for the Republic of Kenya and the medical fraternity that, a medical doctor will sit in the Cabinet and advance decisions. I see an opportunity for the professionals to influence leadership. As a doctor, she is technically sound, willing to learn and work with the very highly competent medical teams. This will help advance the healthcare system in the country to a higher level. Through her, I see an opportunity for us to achieve the Universal Health Coverage (UHC). For the former cabinet secretaries who were dropped, some were operating from their private offices. They did not answer peoples’ phone calls and this is an opportunity for them to re-think about what they were doing and change. I want to repeat that the President has destroyed the Opposition. He has brought the country together and so, we shall all work as a team. With that, I support the Committee’s Report. As a gynaecologist, I sympathise with the lady who was rejected. How I wish she was not rejected. As a doctor who looks after the welfare of women, she is highly qualified. She is a Director of Administration in the Ministry of Interior and National Administration. Why did she not perform well at the interview? The President knows why he picked her and I hope she will be chosen."
