    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The office of a cabinet secretary is a high office. Any person that this House approves to sit as a cabinet secretary must rise above board. They must rise above politics and all other prejudices that they have to serve the country. They must also be loyal to one centre of power. They must be loyal to the people of Kenya and not themselves. They have to drop all other things about themselves and serve this country. The reason we found ourselves in this space today is because cabinet secretaries that we vetted in this House served as individuals. They looked for fame, wealth and things that did not help us to unify this country. However, this Cabinet, as put together and that, we will vote for in a few minutes, represents national unity. It must bring the country together so that Kenya prospers as one. I pray that as we approve these nominees to the Cabinet, they will work for Kenyans and not for their stomachs, tribes or their families. They are going in as cabinet secretaries of the Government of Kenya for the State of Kenya and they must serve this country indiscriminately. As we take our vote, I want to cast my vote today knowing that I am voting a Cabinet that will unify and serve the country. They should stop corruption, opulence and individualism and serve The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
