    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I find no reason to subject any of the individuals on the list of the proposed nominees for Cabinet Secretaries not to serve. This is individually looking at their resumes and dispositions. The argument being brought here by the people who sat in the Committee that this gracious lady, Phyllis Jepkosgei Kandie was not very presentable shows that what they are trying to tell Kenyans today is not the truth. There is a man who I have nominated in my constituency to sit in my CDF committee who is visually impaired. Does that imply that she is not qualified to head the tourism docket? This is not beauty pageantry. The fact that somebody has requisite intellectual capital to interrogate issues of the docket so assigned--- I ought to remind you that we lowered the bar for elective officials like Members of Parliament, Senators, Governors and Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) last time so that we could allow a smooth transition and so that no one could be subjected to selective justice. Now, this Committee is suffering from selective amnesia. If you are a member of this Committee, you should not stand here and renege on your report. Of course, you can since it is your right but to us do not stand here and within six to seven hours you contradict the position you held last night. There must be some issues. Be they CORD or Jubilee, this is a collectivity of this House."
