    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I also want to support the candidature of Chepkong’a. Having been with him here, I found him a very serious person and articulate on issues. As somebody mentioned, he knows our problems and therefore should be given a chance. As I speak, I am told even mileage has not been paid because we do not have very good representation at the PSC. All in all, I want to assure you that I did not know that Chepkong’a could lose a seat, having been very articulate and forceful in his presentation of issues here in Parliament. As mentioned by his successor, Hon. William Chepkut, I was there about three weeks ago with Hon. Chris Wamalwa for a fundraising. I found that indeed what Hon. Millie Odhiambo said here is true: We must be at home every time. I think Chepkong’a lost because he was not as popular as some of us thought. He is the right person for the position. He knows all the problems here. Although I am afraid after approving the appointment of Chepkong’a, the Press will have another version of it. They may say that we have appointed our own so that that he can bring more goodies to us. We think he is the right person. I also want to correct some impression: We know Samuel as a very good person. It is not because he is in Jubilee but because he is the right person for that position. The impression I got from the Leader of the Majority Party is that it is because he is a Jubilee candidate. No. I want to vote for him because I know he can do the job. For those of us who do not know him, he is a man who can give us service at the commission. Therefore, I support."
