    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the nomination of these two great ladies. I feel proud and I want to confirm, as a Member from the CORD Coalition, that the Jubilee Government is keen to appoint people who belong to other parties. I want to confirm that Ms. Saadia comes from Wajir County which overwhelmingly supported CORD during the last general elections and she deserves this appointment. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think sometimes we need to support the Executive where they do appropriate things like today because of balancing in their appointments. I have no doubt because I have interacted with these two exceptional ladies that they will transform the TSC if these appointment is approved by this House. I beg hon. Members to support the appointments because these two nominees who are women are exceptionally qualified and meet all the criteria needed. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to say that sometimes when hon. Members are debating about marginalization and bringing on board marginalized communities and groups, there is misunderstanding about it. When hon. Members see three to two names, or the faces of three persons from the marginalized communities; especially from northern Kenya, they feel that is enough and there is no marginalization."
