    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I want to add my voice to this important debate. I support the Report of the Committee, but with a number of reservations. The first one is on regional balancing. A number of Members have said they do not know when they will get a cabinet secretary. As we continue to appoint people to that important office, it is important to ensure that there is regional balancing and, more so, the inclusion of persons living with disabilities. I was very keen when I was watching those people who were being vetted. As a country, we have a lot to do in the area of persons living with disabilities, for purposes of inclusion. Most Kenyans are saying there is a problem with inclusion. It is important we bring our brothers and sisters to some of those senior positions. I have looked at the Report very quickly. The comments by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) are a bit worrying. The DPP said he had no case with a particular nominee, but the EACC said they had an issue. Those are departments of the same Government. There is no way both of them can be saying the truth. One must be saying the truth and the other one must be lying to Kenyans. When those cases come up in a vetting committee like the one you chair, we should allow time The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
