    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Navakholo is a great site in this country called Kenya and I am proud of the people of Navakholo. I rise first and foremost to second the appointment of the nominee, Mr. Harry Kimtai, as the PS for Livestock. He comes from Mt. Elgon, as you have heard. Mt. Elgon is part of the larger Western Province as it used to be. Since Independence, this is the first PS from that area. Therefore, this is a great honour for which I must thank the President of the Republic of Kenya, Hon. Uhuru Muigai, for considering this kind of appointment. I want to encourage him and say: Should there be something pending, consider such communities who have not seen the light of appointment to serve in the Government. Harry Kimtai is a scholar. He has read well in economics. He has practised economics very well. This country requires people of such a stature to turn around the sectors. It does not matter which sector Harry has been appointed to, but he understands the economics of the country. He also understands livestock. He was able to categorically state how he wants to turn around the State department. Harry passed the test of Chapter Six of the Constitution. He is tax compliant. He has all the documents to confirm that he is a tax compliant Kenyan. He also gave us documents to show that he served in KRA and left the Authority with lots of honour and dignity. That means we can trust Harry with the money under the State Department for Livestock. Harry also demonstrated to us that he is able to share and listen, especially to the oversight organisations or bodies like Parliament, the Auditor-General and any other oversight body. Similarly, he said to us that he will comply with court orders. He will comply with 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."
