    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to make it clear that I am still in the Jubilee Government. I am very happy to be on this side today to show that in the Jubilee Government, we are friends and we are encouraging unity. So, I have not defected. I am still in Jubilee and in this House we are free to sit at any place. I want to thank Members of my Committee and the House at large for supporting this Report. I have not heard any rejection. I also want to thank His Excellency the President for considering the two candidates. It is good for this House to know that those two candidates were actually interviewed last year. We are carrying forward the work of the previous Government because it was not completed. It is also good for this House to know that we are also expecting to receive five more Commissions and the position of the Chair, which is still vacant. Currently, we only have three TSC Commissioners and I would like to urge the Government to speed up the process. Already, the interviews have been done and the report on the chairperson and the five other commissioners can be done together. I would also like to thank the Committee members for the support they gave me. Looking at somebody like Dr. Salome Wanjiku Gichura, despite her age, she brought in a lot of experience from the Government. For Saadia who has come a long way from being a P1 Teacher and now doing her PhD, merit is what we should look at. Let us all appreciate that we are Kenyans and we should not discriminate against anyone based on where they come from. I urge this House to adopt our Report. Under Section 8(7) of the TSC Act, No.20 of 2012 and the Standing Order No.45, I urge this House to approve the following two nominees for appointment by His Excellency the President as members of TSC:- Dr. Salome Wanjiku Gichura and Ms. Saadia Abdi Kontoma."
