    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important Motion. I have an issue because that position has been vacant for some time. The President knows our calendar and how we work in Parliament. It is only fair that he respects Parliament and also as National Assembly, we should not use the Standing Order we are using at the moment. I support the nominees especially the lady who has been given a job - Mrs. Susan Mochache. It is not because she comes from Kisii, but she is competent. When we talk about how the appointments have been done, it is not our responsibility to see whether the President is doing the right thing. This will be decided by the voters when we go for the elections, on whether he has served this country fairly and has done the job he was supposed to do, so that Kenyans can consider and give him another chance. Looking at these nominees, I support the politicians especially Hon. Charles Keter. He is someone I have known. I know his family. His children and mine are in the same school and we go to the same church. His wife and my wife are friends. I support this appointments but the critical thing is this: Does this help this country become united. Do these appointments make the country move forward as a nation, bring cohesion and efficiency? Some of the positions being filled now have been vacant for six months or more, since some people left office. One is not sure whether these positions are really relevant to the country. I support these nominations as all of us have done. Let us hope that the people who have been given these jobs will help this country move forward and minimize corruption, which has been a big challenge and has been spoken about now and again. Another issue is about the anti- corruption body. They gave a conflicting report on a very serious issue by making allegations against a Member that he should not be cleared and the following day, they changed. I am not sure of that organization because it has been given serious responsibilities to prosecute and investigate. While signing letters, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) should check for meaning and have a clear mind."
