"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to support the nominations into the three positions: Hon. (Eng) Peter Tum as the Ambassador to Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC); Hon. Susan Nakhumicha as the Permanent Representative in the Permanent Mission of Kenya to the UN- Habitat, Nairobi; and the other two who have been nominated as Consuls General to Guangzhou in People’s Republic of China, and Arusha in the United Republic of Tanzania. I want to disagree with the Leader of the Minority Party who stated that these people did not perform in their various areas. He stated that nominees should only be people who have grown in their careers. Ambassadors are people with different expertise, not only within diplomatic circles. There are experts in trade or health. It exposes everybody to equal opportunity. This is where we come in. Having served in various capacities including as a Cabinet Secretary of Health, Susan Nakhumicha demonstrated that she is capable, and with wide experience. As a former Chair of the Departmental Committee on Health, I worked with her well. She had the capacity to deliver. Going in as an Ambassador to the UN-Habitat, I think she will deliver."
