    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the opportunity. I rise in support of the nomination of Jane Kiringai. I am proud to announce that I was in the same school with Jane Wangui in our yesterdays. We were at Bishop Gatimu Ng’andu Girls Secondary School in Nyeri in the early 1980s. Jane is somebody that I have seen grow. She was a year behind me. I have seen her grow over the years holding different high positions, one after the other. I am very glad that at the moment, she has been elevated to take the mantle after another very serious Kenyan, the former Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), Micah Cheserem. I have no worries that Jane will perform even better being a lady. I want to ask Jane to assure Kenyans and try as much as possible to distribute the cake of this nation equitably. I know she will. I come from Baringo and the criterion that was used for revenue allocation locked us out. I remember we were in position 14 and the line was drawn at position 15. The only reason is that we had a longer tarmac road in our county than many other counties that were considered. I know tarmac roads in those other counties must have increased or have been developed by now. I would like her when she settles down to review the criterion that was used at that time. Our country is unequal. The only way to do it and make Kenyans feel comfortable is to ensure that the cake and the few resources that we have are equitably distributed. We know for sure that those other areas that were left behind needed to be pulled up so that they could also be proud to be called Kenyans. They should not persevere being Kenyans. I am very glad that Jane will review that criterion and work with the team. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
