    "content": "We need to be clear. We have a young economy with good leadership from the Governor and this distinguished fellow whom we are now debating to approve. A man who has served at the CBK and other financial institutions in this country for 36 years is not someone you can just wish away. It is time we encouraged meritocracy. He is being nominated because he has content. He has worked and seen different governments and policies come and go. It is time we looked at everything that we are doing, allow meritocracy and support this individual. Just because he will be seated up there and not hang out with technocrats who discuss what is happening on the ground, he should maintain the same principle of wanting to see a better country. It is important that we have a good monetary policy. I long for the time we will say that Kenya as a country is going to be not only the centre of gravity financially for the East African region but also a country that many people will come and live peacefully and enjoy. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know that you come from Meru and the economy of Meru has got to be supported, particularly the miraa industry. We see young people. Let us allow them to sell miraa."
