Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to support and appreciate the good name these athletes and good Kenyans have brought us. I want to propose that we dedicate a day as a national day in honor of our athletes. I will also encourage the Ministry of Tourism to recognize these great Kenyans and use them to sell Kenya because when most of us travel out of Kenya, people ask us where we are from and we tell them that we from Kenya, the only thing they can remember is our great athletes---

It is, indeed, a sign of the times that a man who was convicted for sedition is before the House for approval. I am happy another man who is familiar with these matters has taken the Chair.

The Committee celebrates him and found him qualified. Ms. Meuledi Mabruki Iseme is qualified in Business Administration. She holds a Masters of Business Administration (Finance).
