I have listened to my colleague. We see the face of Kenya in these 14 appointments. The other reason I support this Motion is because we have five ladies out of 14. Basically, the two- thirds gender rule is applied in these appointments.

There is also an issue of the retired Army generals who served our country very well. I am happy because one of them will be posted to South Sudan where there are issues. In the wisdom of the appointing authority, he decided to post a retired general. In the course of his time there, he is likely to help so that peace is brought back to that country and business between Kenya and South Sudan is improved. I am told there is a road that is being built from Nadapal all the way to South Sudan and to Lamu Port ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to comment on the Petition by Hon. Theuri. Hon. Theuri is a Member of the Departmental Committee on Information, Communication and Innovation. I believe when we call the Communication Authority of Kenya (CAK) to come, we should be able to interrogate this. What Members are saying is true because in this day and age, we should have free hotlines and toll numbers across the country to help, especially along the road, as Hon. Kandie has said. If there is an accident or emergency, people should just call and we rescue lives. There are people ...
