    "content": "I rise to second the Motion. It is a crucial Motion that touches on both the Executive and Parliament. The Motion seeks to have the time limited by the statute, that ends today extended by 14 days to enable the Chief Executive of the country to deliver to Parliament the names of the appointees to be vetted and approved. It is important that this House considers those names; it is important that this House prepares a report in accordance with its mandate; and it is important that that list is approved so that the appointments are effected. It is also very important that the Government is put in place because, as Members of Parliament, we require these Government officers in offices so that we can visit and consult them and do all that relates to those offices regarding our various constituencies. It is important that I speak for my constituency, Tharaka. There is drought in the constituency. I speak to the Cabinet Secretary for Devolution and the Principal Secretary who were appointed that there is a shortage of water as rivers are drying up because of the drought. We need to consult the Government regarding that. There is insecurity because of cattle rustling and banditry activities. It is vital that the Government is in place and these issues are tackled. Therefore, this is a crucial Motion. Another 14 days will ensure that we vet the appointees and submit a report so that they are appointed by the Chief Executive of the country and get to work."
