    "content": "this House and the regions from which nominees were to come were very predictable. Let me confirm to the nation my appreciation that since the building bridges initiative and the “handshake”, from areas like Homa Bay where we have never known a person called a mere board member of parastatal, today we have members of boards of parastatals. My former colleagues, Hon. George Oner and Hon. Neto Oyugi are serving board members. You have seen other former honourable members in nominations here. Let me thank the President for holding true to the building bridges initiative, and for holding true to the constitutional requirement on inclusivity and the face of Kenya principle and integration as well as national cohesion in our country. I thank His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta for being the symbol of national unity and not just living that spirit in word but in securing that spirit in his appointments. May I also thank the President for securing the wealth of knowledge those persons have had. The benefit of serving this country from the Floor of this House would otherwise be wasted outside there. They are now being put into national service in the manner we see the appointment of Hon. Kajuju, among other former Members of Parliament. With those many remarks, I beg to second the Motion."
