    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Of course, I support the appointment of Hon. Caroline to this position. If you look at her Curriculum Vitae (CV), she is qualified for this position. Let me not say “overqualified” because it has a negative connotation. She responded very well when undergoing vetting. She is personally known to me. As Hon. Jared said, we worked very well with her in Azimio la Umoja. Consistency pays. I encourage even those who are in politics that you need to learn that consistency pays. She was actually nominated from our side. We can vouch for her that she is hardworking and will do very well. I want to indicate that, indeed, women support fellow women. I know earlier on, my good brother, Hon. Junet, had indicated that women tend to not support fellow women, but they do. In Suba North, I am supported by women for all the three terms. You can see that even now we are supporting Caroline and the previous nominee despite the challenges that she faced. I want to encourage Members of this House to understand that when dealing with issues of gender, it means both men and women. Although, when we talk about equality it is sometimes lopsided against women. She is going to this docket at a time when the country is facing a lot of challenges. Looking at the issue of trade with her innovative mind, I am sure she will do a lot to help spruce up the country. I want to note that Hon. Ndindi Nyoro, the former Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, has raised very pertinent issues. Even yesterday, I heard him raising the same issue about the ballooning debt and the revenue raising challenges this country is facing. I am sure, as an excellent economist, he knows The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
