Hon. Deputy Speaker, I was just trying to interrogate the whole process of appointments in this Parliament. We have to get serious on this issue. The last four months we have been in this House we have not rejected any single name! It is a fact that every name presented to this House for vetting has gone through. It is a fact!

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I would like to thank the Mover of the Motion, hon. Njenga for bringing this very important Motion. It is one that will be of great help to the youth of this country. I hear a fellow colleague here complaining about ranking just because he was in the last Parliament and he is worried why he is not catching your eye. He does not know that every hon.
