    "content": "When it comes to mobilisation and commitment, this man does it all. He is not the water melon type of person. He is so dynamic. Most of the people who know Rashid think that he was schooled to very high levels because of his dynamism. He can interact with all – the youth, the old and the educated. I would, therefore, urge that Members approve his name. I wonder why people were thinking that Rashid must have the academic papers they have indicated in social media. The drafters of the Constitution knew what they were doing. They stated very clearly that when it comes to the position of the President, the Deputy President, the Governor, the Deputy Governor and Speakers of the two Houses, the holders of those offices must have basic degrees. They knew what they wanted, but when it comes to the position of Cabinet Secretary, they did not have this as a requirement. The sports docket requires this type of a person – a person who is forceful, and who blends well with the youth. You know very well the status of sports in our country will require this kind of person. He is good at mobilisation, he knows how to fish people out of their cocoons to come on the fore. So, we, leaders of Kakamega, thank the President for that. On Jubilee ticket we were a team of 12 MP aspirants, governor and senator. We were working together. We thank the President except that it is the four of us who have come in as elected Members. Rashid was exceptional. I thank the President for noting the effort of this person, and for rewarding him to serve us. He is a person who will mobilise the people of Kakamega to further support the Jubilee Government. You can see that even our own leader, Hon. Musalia Mudavadi went off. We are saying this is the direction for us to take.
