    "content": "Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. I am privileged to represent one of the nominees in Parliament, hon. (Dr.) Abdullahi Ali. So many good things have been said about Dr. Abdullahi, especially by his contemporaries and seniors like hon. Agwenyi and others. If I may delve on the person of Dr. Abdullahi, he is a pioneer Member of Parliament for Wajir North who served for two consecutive terms. He was my worthy opponent in the last general elections. He is such a person who can still inculcate wisdom in me despite being his opponent who threw him out of the seat. He is a person who can mentor me and allow me to settle down to my work as a Member of Parliament. He is a person who does not begrudge anybody and is full of wisdom. He has a vision and focus to serve Kenyans and does not look at what has happened in the past. More so, Dr. Abdullahi has been a parent to me as a Member of Parliament. He paid my college fees when I was in university at a time when there was no Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) or bursary. He could pay my college fees through his salary. Dr. Abdullahi outside politics is such a humane person, a wonderful person who does not have to politic with issues but see the larger picture. His colleague, Ms. Lonah Mumelo, has an impressive career progression; no doubt she measures to the task. My request to the Parliamentary Service Commission is that most of the Commissioners have so much in their hands. They are sitting Members of Parliament and I am sure they have not had ample time to serve the welfare of Member of Parliament. These two members of PSC will bring in the required time to make sure that the welfare of Members of Parliament is taken care of. I am sure their focus should be on public relations as suggested by hon. Sakaja. I hope they will serve Members well. With those few remarks, I beg to support. Thank you."
