    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Indeed, Busia produces the best, and we will prove that. I am so proud of the nominees whose names have been tabled. Who could have known that anybody from a village called Siera, in a location called Lupida, in a ward called Bukhayo North, in Nambale Sub-County, in Matayos would hold a Master’s Degree in Physics, Bachelor of Science, pursuing a doctorate and with theology training? This combination has really mesmerised me. I could not sit. Thank you for a chance to air my pride as a daughter of the soil from Busia. I know that Dr Makokha will do this country justice. Most of the time, it is politicians who are nominated, elected or appointed. Looking at the CV of Dr Makokha, he is a professional with vast experience internationally and nationally. We pride ourselves in him. Where he comes from, he has a very strong community bond at the boundary of Teso South and the Bakhayo. If you know the history of this country, we had the longest-serving Attorney- General from that same tribe. The former Finance Minister, Chris Okemo, also comes from that tribe. Both the Teso and the Luhya in Busia live as one community. A nominee like Dr Boniface Makokha unites Kenyans more. At the boundary, there are many intermarriages. So, he will not think of his or any other tribe but the Kenyan tribe. He will ensure that even the small village - where Google Maps will get to because of him - gets development. I fully support his nomination. We should continue having people like him in the limelight. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
