    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I support this Motion because these are competent Kenyans who are qualified and are highly trained in this field. This is the most important docket as far as this Government is concerned. These Kenyans have adequate experience in this field. I take this opportunity to thank the President and the Deputy President for giving these Kenyans an opportunity to serve. These Kenyans that have been nominated have learnt a lesson on issues of corruption, nepotism, tribalism and should not fall into the pit of corruption. They should make a difference by ensuring that they will serve all Kenyans without tribalism, corruption or bias based on the regions where they come from. I take this opportunity to request the President and the Deputy President that next time, in case they will have an opportunity to nominate Principal Secretaries (PS), they consider the furthest corner of this nation, specifically Turkana. We deserve these opportunities. We might be far from State House in terms of the distance but in terms of appointments, needs and priorities we should be close to State House. I know they love the Turkana. It is only an opportunity that they have not got. However, should they get this opportunity, I request them to consider the Turkana because they have experience of looking after the camels and the cattle. With the philosophy of a pastoralist, if you want a good leader, get one who has looked after cattle and camels. So, I want to assure them that we have a few professors and doctors, let them be given this opportunity before they become many. I support."
