    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. From the onset, I want to thank the Committee for a job well done under your chairmanship. I appreciate the work they have done. However, I am so disappointed with the rejection of nominee Stella Soi. Looking at her curriculum vitae, she is a well-read lady. She has done a lot, having risen to the position of a district commissioner. She has championed for women empowerment and talked about HIV and AIDS. Maybe, she was not eloquent according to the Committee, but I want to believe, just like some of the Members have said, that there are other ways through which one can communicate. I feel sad because she had the opportunity. I am praying that she gets another position. I asked myself if her rejection was because she was the last one to be vetted, when the Committee was tired and felt like she was not the best. I feel that she can still be given another chance. Former Cabinet Secretary, Phyllis Kandie was rejected, but when the Committee brought its Report to the House, she was saved. What is it that we can do to save that honourable lady? The fact that she transited from one job to another is not a yardstick to say that she is not able. That is just to tell us that she can work in this position and many other positions. Otherwise, I want to say that Stella Soi can still be given that opportunity. Thank you."
