    "content": "Having said that, and in the context of that constitutional mandate and responsibility, I want to remind this hon. House that this report is not about Ms. Kandie, or any of the individuals we are debating here now. It is about the composition of the Government of the Republic of Kenya that is going to be given a constitutional mandate to serve this Republic and every Kenyan whatever their political affiliation. So, let us not reduce this great debate and historic moment to a contest over individuals, and lose sight of the greater responsibility to the people of this Republic, who sent us to this House. We are exercising one of the three cardinal responsibilities of the House. We come here to legislate, represent and oversee. We are exercising both the oversight and the representative roles. We represent the people of this country in terms of watching and listening with the keenness of a neurosurgeon to ensure that whatever decision is approved in this House it can meet the approval of the people we represent in this House."
