    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Motion. From the outset, you realize that we are talking about an officer who has risen through the ranks of the Public Service. If you look at the Cabinet that we approved a few days ago, you will see that we need institutional history of our Government, people who have the right experience and what it takes to make sure that the new Cabinet settles down properly and discharges its duties without having difficulties, as most of them have come from the private sector. For any meaningful reforms in the Public Service, again we need institutional history. I think this is the right candidate who has that. As it has rightfully been put by hon. Anyango, we cannot prosecute or crucify our officers, particularly in the public service for the positions they hold, which are not their personal responsibilities, but are institutional positions. Hon. Deputy Speaker, again, we have seen the diligence, the competence, the integrity and the level at which Mr. Kimemia has been able to discharge his duties; as the Chair will realize, in the last five years, circumstances were very difficult and anybody will appreciate that. In a coalition Government the opposition and the Government are in one Cabinet; having them work in harmony and be able to achieve synergy cannot be taken for granted. So, that is something that we ought to commend this officer for. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I think the candidate has all the qualifications and is the right candidate for this job. I support. Thank you."
