I commend the appointed Committee under your leadership for a sound Report. The Report is very comprehensive and covers all aspects of vetting as per the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act and the relevant provisions in our Constitution. I want to commend the President for appointing a Cabinet with the face of Kenya. As humanly possible, the President ensured the Cabinet appointees represent the diversity of the Kenyan society. It is not possible for all the communities in our 47 great counties to be represented in a Cabinet which has 22 positions only. The President will ensure that all other communities have a chance to serve in public positions in our Government as Principal Secretaries, Ambassadors and so on. I want to thank the President in a very special way for rewarding the people of Marsabit County with not only a Cabinet position for Amb. Ukur Yatani, but for also giving us two ambassadorial positions: One for Lenayapa, who will be our ambassador in Netherlands, and also Hassan Wario Arero, who will be our ambassador in Austria. This is a great honour to the people of Marsabit County and as leader representing people of that great county, we will be indebted to the Jubilee Government. We commit to support our Government through thick and thin. In a very special way, I want to thank the President for appointing Ambassodor Ukur Yatani who is not only my constituent but a person who passed on the baton of leadership of North Horr Constituency over a decade ago. Mr. Yatani is an extremely well experienced The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
