    "content": "here. Whatever we are doing in this House is constitutional. It does not require mercy from anyone. If I want to come to support the appointment of anyone, it is my own choice. We are here to ensure that Parliament functions. Parliament cannot function without us. We need each other more than ever before. Just the way NASA needs us, we also need them.Why is it that when it concerns things that benefit NASA, they need our assistance, and when it is about issues that do not benefit them, they walk out? When we were passing a Motion, they walked out. Will you keep on walking out every time? Is that the business we have been sent to do here? When we come here as Members of Parliament, we respect each other. We do not want to bother about the business that happens outside this House. Whether you make noise or blow whistles, it is nothing to us. When we come here, we respect our colleagues; we want to do anything that is constitutional. We have to respect each other in this House. It is not the issue of Jubilee or NASA - it is Members of Parliament. Anything we are doing here is constitutional. I support this Motion of extension of period for deliberation of the nominees. We want to vet these Principal Secretaries (PSs) because they are coming to serve. We have to vet them. We want to have enough time to ensure that these are the right officers who will serve Kenyans. We do not want to rush. We do not want to make it an issue of Jubilee or NASA. These are people who are serving Kenyans; they are not coming to serve us alone. So, we want to take time as Members of Parliament to ensure that these people are the right officers who will serve Kenyans - people who brought us to this Parliament."
