    "content": "it. We really fought her last time but now we are going to work with her. I support her nomination as Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs. The other nominee is Keriako Tobiko. He is an experienced person. I knew him from 2000 when he was working for the constitution review commission which was based on 4th Floor of Kencom House. He is a person I have known for a long time. He has done a commendable job in the DPPs office by brining reforms. He is very humble, approachable and very accessible. I support his nomination for the position of Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. It is a very critical department in this country and he would be expected to handle the legal issues on environment. Hon. Ukur Yatani was once my colleague. I knew him in 1984 when he was still in the university. I know he is somebody who can work hard. We worked together when he was a District Officer and also as a District Commissioner. He has also worked as Governor, Assistant Minister and Ambassador. He has wide experience in the public service. Because of that, I am sure that, as he moves to his new docket of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, he will add a lot of value to our communities in northern Kenyan where there is a lot of poverty. Prof. Kobia is also another renowned Kenyan with an exemplary background. She actually started with the Kenya School of Government (KSG), the former Kenya Institute of Administration (KIA). I have known her since then. She did a lot of reforms in the KSG by making it known and also changing the name from “KIA” to “KSG.” With her coming to the Public Service Commission (PSC), a lot of reforms have been done there. Even if you go to that office now, you will physically see what she has done as the Chairperson of that Commission. For Hon. Munya and Hon. Rashid, I agree with all Members that they are all important and will make our country proud. Hon. Speaker, for you information, we need to move on. We have taken so long to form a Government because of elections. We now want the Government to function. So, the President and the Deputy President have done good to ensure that they complete the formation and construction of the Cabinet so that we deliver services to our constituents because we pledged to do so during campaigns. We pledged to deliver services and also to implement our manifesto. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support."
