    "content": "currently, there is a bit of biasness in terms of the way the positions have been shared. If we want to unite this country, we cannot overlook the fact that Kenya has population figures which must be respected when it comes to nominations to senior public positions. The last point is on the issue of impending by-elections. If we pass this list, we are likely to get two by-elections in this country. I was just wondering, as a Member of this House and a member of the Departmental Committee on Budget and Appropriations, about the issue of prudent management of resources. I know you want to bring politicians to the Cabinet, but I am not convinced that any time you nominate two politicians to the Cabinet, there must be a by- election. First of all, it is very expensive in terms of cost and, secondly, it delays implementation. For the next three or four months, there will be no implementation in those particular constituencies since the Members of Parliament have been nominated. They will not be able to participate in terms of guiding the implementation of the projects. Even though I support this list, I think, in future, it is important that the points I have raised are considered, if we have to take this country to where it should be. With those remarks, Hon. Speaker, I support."
