    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. I would like first of all to start by congratulating His Excellency the President for giving us such qualified individuals with requisite skills within their fields. We are definitely looking forward to seeing them do the work that is required in the manner that will ensure that the Jubilee dream comes to fruition. On the issue of gender regarding principal secretaries, it has actually gone beyond the 30 per cent requirement. We appreciate that we now have such qualified women employed by the Government as Principal Secretaries. They are highly qualified because they have the requisite degrees and international experience. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are seeking to move Kenya to the 21st Century level of development. Looking at the nominees’ wealth of experience, regardless of where they come from, they present the best. Ms. Munano’s promotion being within her Ministry shows that those who work diligently within their ministries will at some point get promoted to the positions of PS and CS. There has been reinforcement in terms of the importance of education, which is an important aspect in ensuring that the youth in our country get jobs they are qualified for. None of the nominees has less than a Masters degree. We want to thank them. I would like to request them to give the Government the service that is required of them once they take up their positions. They should also curb rampant corruption. We want to expand the space for people in this country to participate in development."
