    "content": "effective person. I am sure he has done a very good job in training Sialai. Even before I support this appointment, I want to note that Mr. Bundi is retiring but if you look at him, he is a very energetic person. He is a sportsman who has served this country with a lot of dedication. I am bringing the attention of this House that the wealth of experience that Mr. Bundi has will go into waste if he just came home to my village to plant bananas. So, I am hoping that within the premises of this Parliament and having the knowledge that he has, he can still serve in other capacities in this country. I hope that one time, we will find a position for him which is not limited by tags like age of a person when we have an experienced person. There are places like East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) where he served as a Clerk and many others. I hope one day, we will probably give him that opportunity to be able to serve out there. Having said that, it is the first time in this National Assembly for me, having being here for four years, that I am approving an appointment of a person that I know and that I have worked with. Therefore, I want to say with a lot of confidence that Mr. Rotich Sialai was not only interviewed for a job that he is experienced in but a job that he also enjoys and does it well with his experience. Coming at a time when we are about to exit and give way to the next Session of Parliament, it is the right time to have the man that is going to do a good job as much as Bundi did. I want to congratulate Mr. Sialai for coming top in the interview to be able to get the nomination to this job. I have no doubt having worked with Sialai that working with a bigger National Assembly as compared to the previous years where we had only 210 constituencies, it is only fair that we have a person who has been in the system and understands the system and is able to rely on that experience and the history of what has taken place throughout the transition so as to give a better service. Of course, it would have been possible to have someone else from out there to come and be appointed having passed the interview but I believe having gotten Mr. Michael Sialai is the right thing. I want to sincerely support and wish him all the best in serving this National Assembly. With those few remarks, I want to support the appointment of Michael."
