Farah Maalim","speaker":null,"content":" Hon. Temporary Speaker, I join my colleagues in supporting this Motion. Hon. Ruku has been a Member of this Parliament for the last two and a half years. You and I have sat on that Chair many times. We know how effective a debater he was. He has no hypocrisy. When he supports an idea, he supports and explains it. I have been with him in media houses on a number of occasions. I really liked how he defended what he believed in. You have already made a clear point that he only becomes a Cabinet Secretary upon taking Oath of Office after he resigns from being a Member of Parliament. As for the lady, Madam Wendot, I have served in this House with her husband, the late Senator Cheptumo. He was one of the finest legislators with whom I have had an opportunity to serve."}
