    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I followed the proceedings of this vetting and I can tell you, because you do not watch yourself, that your Committee enjoyed vetting these two ladies, compared to what we saw the other week, because they were graceful. They gave candour or honesty, and heartfelt answers. We watched them, and we believe these were right nominations. Since when I was 17 years old, during elections, every presidential candidate talks about Singapore, South Korea and Malaysia. That year, the late President Moi and Baba Raila Odinga were candidates. They said that they wanted to build a country like South Korea. I heard the same stories in 2002 between the late Hon. Kibaki and Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta. I heard the same stories during the last election between Hon. Raila Odinga and Hon. William Ruto who is now the President, that they wanted to build a country like Singapore. The biggest secret and the distinguishing feature of South Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia has never been the roads they have built. It is also not the planes they have built. It is the energy they put into their character and meritocracy in how government is run. I believe these two ladies epitomise what public service should look like. This country will do well in the future if we go this way."
