    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to also congratulate the President for this well thought out appointment of the people who are going to serve this country and drive it to the next level. Like my colleagues who have spoken ahead of me have said, the people who have been chosen, Mrs. Susan N. Mochache, Mr. Joseph Robert Okudo and Mrs. Zeinab W. Hussein, are very qualified people. In all fairness, these are young people who represent the interest of the majority of Kenyans. As we all know, 75 per cent of the populace which is going to vote in 2017 is below 35 years. Mrs. Susan Mochache and the like represent that kind of a group. Our hope is that, in their competence, they will find it in their heart to serve the old, especially when they are going to be officially in the office. They need to represent the interest of the youth and the old who have suffered in this country for a long time. Ms. Susan Mochache is a lady I know very well. Just like the Report has stated, she is a very competent person. I appreciate the Report that has been done by the Committee and acknowledge that it actually conforms to what we all know about her and the other officers who have been nominated for the offices. As Parliament, we promise that we are going to support them so that they can give Kenyans value for money and ensure that Kenyans gain and grow to the next level. As we all know, it can only be somebody at a time. We all cannot be there at the same time. They have been given an opportunity to serve."
