    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice, in particular, on the job well done by the Committee on Appointments, led by the Hon. Speaker. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also thank the appointing authority for proposing these two ladies. As the Secretary in charge of the legal affairs of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party, it is in line with our constitution to ensure that we bring as many ladies to areas of leadership as much as possible. Therefore, Madam Beatrice and Madam Dorcas are aligned in our constitution. Second, on the Attorney-General issue, I have known Dorcas Oduor for many years as a commercial practitioner. She joined the Attorney-General Chambers as a state prosecutor and as a state counsel. She has climbed up the ladder. Therefore, she knows all the cracks and corners in the Attorney-General Chambers. The Attorney-General Chambers is the largest law firm. It requires somebody who has the intricacies of running that organisation. On one side, it is litigation, and on the other, it is the commercial side of the Government. There is no better person to run that organisation than Dorcas Oduor. Finally, the Broad-Based Government is now working. If it were not for the proposal of a Broad-Based Government, we would not have the qualities and the knowledge of Dorcas Oduor. I, therefore, support the Motion."
