    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for allowing me to contribute to this Motion. Hon. Chepkong’a used to sit around here or in front here or behind me in the last Parliament. He used to be aligned to me here. I want to affirm to this House that Hon. Chepkong’a is somebody we can trust. I just wanted to correct what my colleague, the Member for Kisumu West, said. Hon. Chepkong’a won the Jubilee Party nominations as our candidate. Even when it was repeated, he won, only that he was defeated by an independent candidate, Hon. William Chepkut. So he was the JP candidate in Ainabkoi but unfortunately he lost. Hon. Chepkong’a is a dedicated and honest person. I know he will add value to the commission, as many of my colleagues have said. I have no doubt in my mind that bringing Hon. Chepkong’a on board and having gone through the interviews by the commission and scoring 81 per cent, you can see the range between him and number two was quite large. It shows how dedicated and committed he is. It is high time this House approved Hon. Chepkong’a. So far I have not seen anybody saying anything negative about him. This House is in agreement that he meets our expectations. This is a candidate who has been brought to this House for approval. I want to support the approval.
