    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I wish to take this opportunity to thank you for granting me the chance to speak on the issue of the two Cabinet Secretary nominees. I will speak very briefly on Hon. Ruku, whom we have worked with here in Parliament. He is very hardworking. In the short time he has been here, he has introduced many Bills that reflect his diligence. The only point I wish to raise regarding Hon. Ruku is that his proposed Bills reflect a narrow view of democratic issues. I raised this concern during the vetting process. I encourage him to undergo a mental paradigm shift and gain a deeper understanding of what the Constitution entails, adopting a broader perspective on democracy and the rule of law. Otherwise, I believe he is qualified for the position. On the issue of Hon. Hanna, which many Members have spoken about, I sat through the vetting. One of the clear takeaways was that she is a very good lawyer, even as seen in her curriculum vitae. She is a confident person. This is a person who seeks to improve herself. She pursued law at a much later stage in life, which shows commitment and willingness to learn. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
