    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I can confirm that the nominee, Hon. Ahmed Abdisalan, demonstrated high professionalism, integrity, and skills for the job for which he has been nominated as Principal Secretary, State Department for National Government Coordination. He demonstrated the skills required for the position. Hon. Ahmed, the immediate former Member of Parliament for Wajir North and also a former senior person at the Kenya Red Cross, has really shown and demonstrated that he can coordinate Government departments across ministries. I can confirm that after his nomination, there were celebrations across Wajir North, the Ajuran community, and the larger North Eastern Province, including all Northern Frontier counties. This is because Hon. Ahmed Abdisalan is the first Ajuran to be appointed as a Principal Secretary. I thank the President of the Republic of Kenya for equalising Kenya. The President and the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister are looking at clan, tribal, and regional balancing across this country. That is something that brings Kenya together and unifies it. That is exactly what is required in Kenya now. However, the Murule and the Kona tribes in Mandera are among the communities not yet considered for senior positions. The Murule community is entrepreneurial, and they do business across the country, yet they have never tested any senior positions such as cabinet secretary, principal secretary, chief executive officer, director-general, managing director or ambassador. I request the appointing authorities now to consider the Murule and Kona communities in Mandera. The Kona tribe is a combination of several small clans that came together, while the Murule community represents two large constituencies in Mandera. Despite that, they have never tasted these positions. After the Ajurans have celebrated and got the first Principal Secretary, the next ones in line are the Murule and Kona tribes. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to second."
