    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I second. The President did a good job on these nominations. The issue of gender was considered since we have two women and one man. All the nominees are qualified. Ms. Susan Mochache and Zeinab are young and energetic. They also have good family values. They are qualified. Joseph Robert Okudo is old but the Department he has been appointed to needs someone with experience on the culture of this country, which he has. I want to reiterate the issue that many Members have talked about - tribalism. How does one know where I come from by looking at my name? This issue should be revisited. We must understand what our last names mean. We are judged by our last names. We just approved a Principal Secretary who has a middle name of a Kalenjin and a last name of a Kamba and yet, we judge them by which tribe they come from. We should scrap our last names so that people are judged according to the qualifications, but not at looking their second names and telling the tribes they are from and yet, one might have been born in Nairobi or in other parts of the country. My kids are from different countries but they are Kipruto and Kipchumba, but you cannot judge them because of their last names.
