Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I second. The President did a good job on these nominations. The issue of gender was considered since we have two women and one man. All the nominees are qualified. Ms. Susan Mochache and Zeinab are young and energetic. They also have good family values. They are qualified.

The first thing that we need to start with is to encourage the county governments to build cultural centres. Many speakers have talked about having cultural days in our counties where people can showcase their cultures. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the best part about it is creating those ...

You cannot use the Kikuyu culture to say that Kikuyus are criminals, neither can you use the Kalenjin culture to say that they are criminals. That should not happen at all. That was very sad.
