    "content": "From the outset, I must say wholeheartedly that I support this appointment. As Kenyans, we need divine intervention. We have reached that time of the year and period in our lives when each one of us needs divine intervention. What a better way to look at this one human being who has come in the name of Archbishop (Rtd.) Dr. Eliud Wabukala Wamukekhe! I know we are all looking and having highest regards and demands of him. But, we also have to remember that he is, first of all, a human being. I know cartoonists have a habit of making fun of people, but I am sure the Archbishop knows what he is up against. Having listened to what he said when he was being vetted; I must say that the few objections that were relayed regarding his background lack merit. But, what happens in life when a person really excels? People just want to pull you down. That is the nature of all human beings. We must not ignore that. We must commend the fact that this gentleman has been appointed to one of the most respectable positions in this country. Look at his track record. He might say what he owns. He has one of the most important qualities in a human being these days. In any position of Government, you must have integrity and honesty. These days, those attributes are not bought. You cannot buy them in any street. For me, even if we feel that a candidate requires some experience in a job he is about to do, if he has integrity and honesty, I think he deserves the chance. At this point, I would like to also say that, as a House, we must join hands today and support this appointment wholeheartedly. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
