    "content": "just been appointed, namely, Mr. Jeremiah Nyegenye and Mr. Justin Bundi. In congratulating them, this is something that we must thank the Committee for a job well done. We know these individuals. I happen to have worked at the East African Legislative Assembly where Mr. Justin Bundi was appointed the Clerk and we were very proud Kenyans because of the way he carried himself and performed his duties. I am sure he will do very well here. Mr. Nyegenye is known to all of us in this House. It also feels good when we see internal candidates win the day. This means that they have been mentored well. I would also want to thank the outgoing Clerk and his deputy who left the other day to contest some elective position. These two have mentored their staff well and that is why we have a pool that we can appoint people from. If you have to bring people from outside, it means that those who have been with the staff have not been mentoring them. It is gratifying to know that we have internal candidates who are well trained. As we go on recess, I would like to urge my colleagues that we go and set a good mood of campaigning. This means that we, as leaders, must show leadership at the grassroots on how we can campaign with our competitors without attacking or abusing one another. Those are things of the past. We should go and set the mood ourselves. This is an opportunity for us to go and set the mood of how things are going to be. More than that, we also need to wind up our CDF projects properly. I want to thank the CDF Committee for moving very fast to ensure that we got our last funding within a very short time. All of us are going to release the last funds. It is very important to wind up well because as they say, the end justifies the means. So, whichever way we will wind up, we will talk a lot for this country. When we come back, I will be one of those who will be presenting Bills that are very urgent. There is the Bill for Higher Education, Science and Technology and Technical and Vocational Training Bill. I urge hon. Members to read them because they are just laws and as such, they will set a different level for higher education in this country. It will be useful for hon. Members if they plan to come back because there will be a point where we may require them to come up with county based institutions or constituency based institutions in the new devolved dispensation. Therefore, I want to urge that they help us when they come back so that we can take the shortest time possible. With those remarks, I support."
