    "content": "actually an advantage. You can now come with freshness and handle things in a manner that they have never been handled before. I have heard most of the people and my colleagues mention Mr. Rashid as a youth of Kenya. We are very proud of the nomination of this 36-year-old. I have heard many people mention many names like Njenga Karume. This is a person whom we even refer to in schools. Actually, as the genesis of education as we know it today, Socrates never went to any school and yet we actually refer to him almost in every area of our study even in universities. Hon. Speaker, there is one great physicist called Albert Einstein. At some point, his class teacher gave him a note to take to his mother. The note read “Your son is un-educatable” yet Albert Einstein went ahead to have so many inventions in his name. Actually, we remember him while studying one of the hardest topics and subjects even in our educational institutions. Hon. Speaker, I want to caution and comment on all the nominees; that even as they go for those appointments, they have to understand that legacies are not built on anything else other than achievements. I also want to tell them that the legacy of the President is pegged on their performance. So, they have to take their work seriously because this is the legacy term of our President. He will never hesitate to replace or recommend replacement of the people we are vetting today, if they do not align themselves to the Jubilee agenda and meet the expectations of Kenyans. Lastly, there are so many countries that we study in so far as where Kenya should be. One of them is Singapore in terms of where we were with them as peers at some point and where they are today. I am sure that even people we revere so much, like the former Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew; he could never have done the much he did if he never had the kind of team he had. One of the things he emphasised on is one of the issues we are dealing with as a country; the fight against corruption."
