    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand here to support this Report. The Constitution demands that you adhere to both procedure and substantive aspects of vetting. These Cabinet Secretaries have been vetted. After vetting, you look at the confidence, integrity as well as the suitability of the nominees. Looking at the report, all these nominees meet those constitutional thresholds. It is so critical for us to realize that this country must move on. Most of these people are professionals who are well learned with enough technical experience to take this country forward. As a Member of Parliament from Marsabit County, this is the second time we have had a Cabinet Minister in the Republic of Kenya, after 50 years of Independence; the only one who has ever served as a Cabinet Minister in this Government. The only Minister we have had within the 50 years is the late Dr. Bonaya Godana, the Member for North Horr, the constituency I represent today. For the first time, Dr. Hassan Arero Wario has been appointed by the Jubilee Government. I want to thank the Government for this gesture. It is so critical that all Kenyans are given a chance to serve this nation. As a region which voted overwhelmingly for Jubilee, the Government gave the people of Marsabit an opportunity to serve in it. We are glad. Thank you."
