    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not a Member of the Parliament Select Committee that made these selections. But I am also aware that the Committee went through a really sensitive process of doing these appointments. The disagreement being brought before this House right now, is unfortunate. I would want to urge those colleagues who are part and parcel of that process, to accept what the Committee has collectively arrived at. It is part of democracy and competitive politics; that whether you like it or not, you will have to give and take. This same culture is what Kenyans are watching. It is what has caused our country, at large, to behave the way it has been doing, even during elections. This is because even us, at the level of leadership, at this very hour, we have demonstrated that unless one of us whom we want is accepted, we would rather spoil the whole broth. It is tragic and not deserving of leaders to behave in that way. I would, therefore urge our colleagues to give this team a chance."
