    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am surprised that I have one-and-a-half minutes. I rise to make my observations about the nominees. The petroleum sector is very important in this country because it is a new frontier for the development of our economy. I believe that people who have been given that responsibility are going to ensure that we reap from that dividend; that this country is going to be developed from those proceeds and that even the communities where this extraction is going to occur are also going to benefit. We would like to see more persons with disabilities being nominated to these positions. We appreciate that there is one lady, Mukhove. However, we would also like to see more persons with disabilities being nominated to these positions as qualified Kenyans. Those who have been nominated as Cabinet Secretaries and Permanent Secretaries should also have political consciousness. They should know that they owe it to the appointing authority to deliver to Kenyans. One of the things that we are seeing is that they seem to be averse to that reality. I think that is why the President is coming to Parliament to get politicians who can do the jobs. They should know that whatever thing they do, it has a political responsibility."
