    "content": "I would like one item introduced into our vetting exercise. We passed in this House to have quarterly reports from our ministries. How I hope we had those reports. If Hon. Kagwe were a Cabinet Secretary, for instance, we would have a report from the Department to tell us how he performed in that section. That report would also help the Leader of the Majority Party to refer. It would be the same with the other gentlemen from the Senate. It would be better if we could be citing reports from these sectors, other than individual verbal appreciations or others saying the three nominees impressed them much. Hon. Speaker, as a Member of the Departmental Committee on Health, Hon. Kagwe is competent and I know he will do a good job. If approved, I would like to urge him to start with the more pressing issues bothering Kenyans. Having come from the Ministry of Health, he values health. The issue of pesticides Hon. Speaker, is causing a lot of harm to our people. As we speak, over 310 products of pesticides are used in this country. Pesticides have been connected to six cancers and if not checked, it can bring us more harm. As for Hon. Kabogo, we have built digital innovation hubs in every ward according to the presidential initiative. I have three wards in my constituency with the digital innovation hubs. I have written too many letters to have them equipped which has not yet been done. As for Hon. Lee Kinyanjui, how I wish he can prioritise building industries in our rural settings so that our kids do not have to migrate to urban areas to be slum dwellers. By doing so, he will bring value addition to our natural products. With those remarks, I support the three nominees."
