    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, I want to thank the House for supporting the appointments of the two nominees. I have no doubt that they are going to deliver. When we were going through their CVs, we found that they have delivered in their current roles to the extent that most of the comments we were receiving from our Members were that it would be very difficult to fill the positions of Mr. Marwa at the Coast region. I am sure the person who will be given the position of the Coast Regional Coordinator will have to work extremely hard and smart to fit into the shoes of Mr. Marwa. He has a very impressive history of performance. I have no doubt that he is a trained individual and, therefore, he is going to apply situational style and deliver as CS, State Department for Devolution and Planning. I, therefore, urge this House to approve the nomination and appointment of Mr. Sospeter Marwa to be the PS, State Department for Devolution. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on the same strength, Dr. Julius Muia has a very impressive CV and history in performance wherever he has been. We have no doubt that he is going to ensure that there is coordinated planning both in the national Government and even support capacity building to ensure that counties do proper planning. This will ensure that the funds which are sent to the counties do not go to waste, but are going to deliver services to the people. We have no doubt about them and I thank the House for affirming that. I have not heard anybody mentioning any of these nominees adversely. I want to take this opportunity to thank the President and the Deputy President for well- thought-out ways of picking the right people. I also thank them for not mincing words when they were reappointing CSs and PSs by saying that it will not be business as usual. They have to deliver. I have no doubt that these two nominees are going to join the brand of those who are going to deliver. Our Committee will not like to be ashamed that we supported these two individuals. This House should go ahead and approve the appointment of the two nominees. As I finish, I want to thank this House very much including the Speaker, the Clerk, all the stakeholders and Members of our Committee for supporting us during the vetting process. I urge this House to vote and approve the appointment of Dr. Julius Muia and Mr. Nelson Marwa to the position of PSs, State Departments for Planning and Devolution, respectively. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
