    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I support Mr. Sialai. For the short time that I have been in Parliament, Mr. Sialai has come across as a very experienced, very composed and very knowledgeable man. I am confident that even as Mr. Bundi goes to our famous Tharaka Nithi County, I am sure that Mr. Sialai will take up the mantle that he is given to him. As I say that, I am confident and I am sure that Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) has done a good job. It is only good that employees are rewarded from within. Sialai has gone through the ranks, he has learnt the ropes and he will do a good job. Lastly, I would want to say that even as Mr. Sialai gets elevated to the level that he is going, it is my hope that as we look around the mood of the country, it is only fair that even the other staff that are left behind get opportunities to rise through the ranks by merit, the same way Mr. Sialai has gotten to this position through merit. For me, it is an opportunity to also see that even as we distribute opportunities for Kenyans in this country, we sometimes do not look at one region. I hope that in the years to come and in the history of Parliament, we will have a Speaker from Central, a Clerk from Western, one from Nyanza and another one from Tharaka Nithi. Having said that, I know Mr. Sialai will do a good job. I support his appointment. Thank you."
