"content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want to start by supporting this Motion. This is the first time that we are seeing the fruits of the new Constitution. We are in an era where we are vetting Cabinet appointments. We have appointees coming to the public and before the Committee on Appointments to say how much they own. Mr. ole Lenku has said what he is worth in terms of his wealth and hon. Kazungu has talked about the challenges that he had as he grew up and went through the school system. This is what the Constitution expected and it shows how far we have come in terms of accountability and transparency in our leaders. I hope that we shall hold these appointees to their word in terms of what they said to the Committee. For example, ole Lenku said that he will sort out the conflict between the Kavuludi Commission and the Inspector-General. I have worked with the Inspector- General when I was an Assistant Minister and he was Deputy Secretary and I know him as a humble man and a professional. While some people have questioned the appointment of these nominees and have been arguing that they do not have experience, in fact, ole Lenku is not being asked to tell us the difference between a G3 and an AK47. The professional who should do this is the Inspector-General. So, let us give opportunity to the professionals to perform their work and let us have managers running Ministries. In this case, ole Lenku fits the bill. However, there are challenges in the security docket. Instead of blaming an appointee, we should encourage them and ask those who can pray to pray for them,"
