    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was wondering why I have not been given an opportunity because earlier on we were told that preference of speaking is given to the Leader of Majority Party and the Leader of Minority Party. First of all, I want to thank the Committee on Appointments for the time they took to come up with a very comprehensive Report. I also want to thank the appointing authorities, His Excellency the President and the Deputy President, for having appointed people who went through the vetting process smoothly. When I look at the composition of the Cabinet nominees, I feel that they are going to perform their duties and make Kenya a place where other people from other countries will come to benchmark and see how the Cabinet works in synergy with the Executive and Parliament. My advice to the Cabinet Secretary nominees who have been vetted and are awaiting approval by this House and also those who are in office is that they should work very closely with elected Members of Parliament and especially those from the Jubilee side. They are occupying those positions because of our personal efforts as a party to campaign and bring victory to His Excellency the President and his deputy. We want services to be delivered to those of us who represent the Jubilee fraternity. When we call on their offices, let them give us ample time and attend to the issues we will bring to their table because we are not going to take personal issues but the ones which affect our constituents and members of the Jubilee party who voted this Government in. I would like to single out the nominee from Nandi County, Ms. Farida Karoney, who has been nominated to head the Ministry of Lands. We know the history of that Ministry concerning a lot of corruption. I also come from Nandi and we have a saying that goes: “when the house is The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
