    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for protecting me! We are aware that in the developed countries, some Cabinets are formed outside of Parliament. We need to look at this when we are passing this law. We need to form our Cabinet outside Parliament. That will be when we will stop competing and avoid divisions along tribal and regional lines. That will be when we will have an opportunity to scrutinise the qualifications of people, the responsibilities we give them and the skills they have. We need experts who will manage the affairs of this country. Only then will we be able to give Kenyans the services that they deserve. That is the only time when we will have capable people in offices, who will manage our affairs well, and give the best services and have the best interests of this country at heart. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I come from a region where services have never been delivered and people who come from different regions just because they have the power and are well connected in the system, get all the services. At this age, it is unfair for a country to give different services to different people. It is only technocrats and experts who can serve this country equally because they will be responsible. This time Members of Parliament and Ministers should be honest and not only serve their constituencies. If we have a Kenyan with clear terms of reference, then that is the only time that he or she will deliver clear services to this country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the past, this House has failed this country. As I have just told you, this Parliament is unique on its own. So, please, let us demonstrate that uniqueness. I beg to support the Motion."
