    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, let me take this opportunity to thank His Excellency the President for giving us these nominees. From the recommendations of the Committee, Mr. Joseph Ole Lenku appears to be a well-qualified person. He has been nominated to a very serious docket which concerns security matters. This country has had a vacuum and we have had a lot of problems in security matters. I hope that when this nominee is approved by this House and formally appointed, he will look at security matters. He has spoken about cattle rustling and we in Igembe North have suffered a lot. Every now and then, our cattle is stolen and taken away. I hope he will not entertain this practice, through which some communities make others poor. As I speak, at least two people from Igembe North are in Maua Hospital after they were shot by cattle rustlers. So, when he takes office, he should look at the equitable distribution of the equipment for security like vehicles and others. In my constituency, there are no vehicles for police operations. This nominee has proved to be a good manager, and a good leader; I hope that after getting this opportunity, he will put it into proper use and guarantee security to all in the country. In this House, we have had several occasions, including yesterday, to discuss Motions for Adjournment so as to discuss security matters. This is a docket that requires more leadership than just technical understanding. So, I hope he will provide leadership that is necessary as a Cabinet"
