"content": " Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker for that guidance. I appreciate the Members who made immense contributions to the Motion. I agree that the mood of the House is as you have stated. On a point of information, in the last Session, we did not approve the name of Mr Charles Githinji Kiiru who was a nominee for consular general to the Democratic Republic of Congo. It should not be taken for granted that this Committee or House just passes anybody. We rejected a nominee on the basis of the fact that he was not fit for that kind of assignment. The Leader of the Minority Party spoke about the nominees being demoted or getting some other positions. You put it rightly that they are called excellencies, but while they are in the country, they are not called that. It is not a demotion as such since they represent the President in those capacities. When they are moved from those positions, it is not because of incompetence, but rather a reassignment to other positions. Hon. Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to reply."
