    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the report with a very heavy heart. I say “with a very heavy heart” because I happen to know this officer, Dr. Nzomo. At one time when I was an untrained teacher and we used to report to the Teachers Service Commission, this lady was known as one of the most efficient and very effective officers. That is why I am saying that I am supporting with a very heavy heart because I know she is a very capable person. I want to reiterate what my colleague, Mr. Githae, said that meritocracy must never be sacrificed at the altar of ethnic or regional balancing. I will give you an example of what J. F. Kennedy did in 1963 when he became the president. He appointed his brother as an Attorney-General. When he was asked about it he said that his brother was the best and he could deliver. So, I think in future our Attorney-General should actually come up with rules that state or stipulate that at least the first three must never be altered or changed. When number one is not appointed then it is really a very sorry state of affairs. I support women rights; I support rights of the disabled and children. Therefore, I support the Motion reluctantly and with a very heavy heart. We are sending a wrong message to the women of this country."
