    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I stand to support the appointment of Hon. Chepkong’a to replace me in the Commission where I served for three years before resigning to vie as the Senator for Wajir and I was successfully elected. I have been a Commissioner for some time and I know what Commissioners can do and what they cannot do. There are a lot of problems. Hon. Chepkong’a is somebody who I know very well. He is my age mate and we were college mates. We travelled with him one time during President Moi’s time to the United States of America (USA) and the United Kingdom (UK) when university students used to benefit from Mzee Moi’s trips. He is somebody I have known since 1987 to date. When my name was forwarded to be a Member of the Commission under Article 127(2)(d), he was one of the Members of Parliament on the forefront who supported my candidature to become a Commissioner. Hon. Chepkong’a is a very passionate person. If Kenyans did not elect someone like Hon. Chepkong’a who has done all that, then you do not know what sort of people they need to be elected to the Parliament of Kenya. He is somebody who deserves the position. I am sure he will bring a lot of experience, having served as a manager and being a lawyer. I thank you and support."
