"content": "That is why I have to speak because they may take it for granted that we are sending people there. We are sending serious people of high calibre and standard. Since the inception of the broad-based Government and we started sending experts there, its face has changed. People now take it more seriously than any other time. I know the Leader of the Majority Party agrees with me because he is part of the mechanics who are bringing this broad-based Government together. He is playing a big role. He knows, and he normally checks when we bring in serious people. He tells me, Hon. Junet, I am bringing the right people to the Government. Look at what is happening to this Government after the broad-based agreement. It is looking up. The Ministries of Health, Education, Energy and Petroleum, and the National Treasury and Economic Planning are being reformed. The economy is looking up. Inflation and interest rates have gone down. There is now a lot of confidence in the economy because of hiring an expert, like John Mbadi Ng’ongo, the former Chairman of our party. We have come together in this broad-based Government to help our country and make sure that it succeeds. That is why we want to have people like Dr Ouma Oluga in the Ministry of Health. This Parliament has changed all the laws pertaining to health and brought about digital healthcare. You, therefore, now need serious people like Ouma Oluga to handle SHIF and Social Health Authority (SHA). As a Kenyan, I am a very proud man today. I never thought one day Ouma Oluga would get a chance to exercise the kind of knowledge he has. I used to admire him when he was the Secretary General of KMPDU. This is a young man who is self-made and grew up in this country and participated in every aspect of healthcare in this country, such as at Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS), where he built hospitals in v ijiji when he was the Chief Officer, Health. I urge Members to take ODM more seriously. We have more experts and if you want more, please write to me as the Leader of the Minority Party, and I will take it to Baba Raila Amolo Odinga. We have more experts in law, healthcare, engineering, water and all manner of things. We are a think-tank full of experts. I must get rights to brag because experts are coming from ODM."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the nomination of Dr Oluga Ouma Frederick as the Principal Secretary. I do not want to get into the debate of whether he is an expert from ODM or not. He is a very professional and competent young Kenyan. I have known him since his days at the union. At one point he also served at NMS as County Executive Committee Member or Chief Officer. I cannot remember. Much as the Leader of the Minority Party says they are giving experts to this Government, these experts are Kenyans, and he will agree with me that there are equally competent experts in United Democratic Alliance (UDA) as His Excellency the President has purposed to broaden the base. As Hon. Junet says, there have been many fundis in broadening the base. For a base to be broad and firm, it needs fundis who will fix to ensure that you have a strong base where good professionals like Dr Oluga and others can sit in, and serve Kenyans. Hon. Junet, having been one of the fundis, knows that there are very good experts within ODM and other political parties. I am sure this professional may not want to be seen as a member of any political party. In fact, it is one of the requirements to declare whether one is an official of a political party. However, there is absolutely nothing wrong with any Kenyan being a member of a political party, because people have political affiliation, including professionals. Even Cabinet Secretaries have cabinet affiliation. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a nominee being a member of a political party. The only thing the law does not allow them to do is to hold office in political parties or to conduct their work in public office in a partisan manner. Irrespective of where you come from or your political affiliation, serve Kenyans diligently and with commitment knowing that you are coming into public service to serve Kenyans. When the broad-based Government came into being, it was not just about broadening the base to create positions for people, but about service delivery to Kenyans. Wherever you find a good person to offer good service to Kenyans, get them. If you find them in Wiper Democratic Movement (WDM), ODM or UDA where there is a repository of knowledge, equally get them. Those within Government who are incompetent have time to be shown the door. I am happy this House has led from the front in showing incompetents the door by acting. Even as we approve these nominees, we ask them to show their competence, express their professional good manners in office and work for Kenyans, not just a region or party but by working with diligence and commitment, knowing that in their service in Government, they are serving the people who are ultimately the bosses. The appointing authority may be your boss, but ultimately the boss is Kenyans. Serve them with commitment. There are challenges but I am very certain that Dr Oluga knows those challenges in the Ministry of Health. I am confident now with..."
