    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me also to join my colleagues in appreciating the Report by the Committee, where I am also a member. At the outset, I also want to congratulate Madam Nderitu Ann for being nominated as the Registrar of Political Parties. Hon. Speaker the Registrar of Political Parties (RPP) appeared before our Committee and her presentation was smart and accurate. She was very positive. She told us her humble beginning having begun her career as a teacher and grew up into being an Inspector of Schools where she was the first female Authority to Incur Expenses (AIE) holder. My background being in finance, I was very much impressed that for that long she has never had any accusation or dark statement on her side pertaining AIE holding in the civil service. Long gone are the days most civil servants could mess up in terms of accounting for resources and managing public funds. Ann Nderitu came out clearly, smart and eloquent. She is a civil servant who demonstrated the ability to manage the Political Parties Fund. In terms of the experience of what she is going to handle as the Registrar of Political Parties, I felt that this originated from her being a manager from the Independent Elections and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). She grew up with the IEBC and especially the last participation as a Tutor in terms of training and managing the electoral process in 2017 came out very distinctive and accurate. In my opinion it gave me an eye that Ann Nderitu is the most qualified person for this office. Considering that the predecessor Madam Lucy Ndungu has held this office for about 8 years without being confirmed, that was terrible and time is due. We appreciate the President for nominating Ann Njeri Nderitu to be the Registrar. The times ahead are political. We are all going to face political turbulence in terms of appearing before the political parties. Some of the questions we were pausing to her on an interactive basis which might not have been in the report, is how she is going to react to Members. How is she going to react to disputes by political parties? She could easily separate Ann Nderitu as a person and Ann Nderitu acting as the Registrar of Political Parties. That distinction was very critical so that if there is a dispute, political parties are run by the members of that political party, not the Registrar. I feel she is the right person for the job. For the case of Mr. Mohochi, I want to associate myself with the issue of the CEO of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) when he appeared before this The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
