    "content": "This Parliament recommended that Esther Koimett should not hold a public office. The question I am asking is: Are we going to promote someone we have recommended not to hold a public office? In my view, that is something that this House should not do. This House must hold fidelity to reports that we pass here. I have heard Members complain here many times that whatever we pass here is never implemented. Then today we are approving an appointment of someone who has been indicted by a report of this House. How will I go on record supporting this appointment? My view is simple that unless that matter is sorted out, Ms. Esther Koimett has something to explain to the people of Kenya. I cannot support her appointment as a Principal Secretary yet in her current office, we had recommended that she should not hold office. In fact, it is only that sometimes the Government is not keen in implementing the recommendations of this House. Otherwise, she would not be holding public office. So, I oppose this appointment on the basis that this House had recommended that this officer cannot hold a public office."
