"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker for allowing me to rise and support the work that has been done by the Committee, especially on the vetting of the Data Commissioner. Kenya is at a point where it is grappling with matters that are related to the IEBC. When it comes to electioneering, data processing and handling is very important. When we want to get genuine and true dialogue, we must get a very authentic way and authentic person to head the unit that handles our data as a nation. I thank the Committee for the vetting process and for the person that they have settled on. More so, I want to thank His Excellency the President for mainstreaming the issue of gender in his appointments. For this particular purpose, I want to congratulate the madam who has been given this work, and who has been brought for the purpose of our indulgence in this House. I honestly pray that when she goes to do her work, she does it without any fear. She should give it her best. Responsibilities that have been held by women have always been done with a lot of integrity and passion. Women give their best shot when given opportunity. I am making a clarion call to women that opportunities are coming out for them. There is an eye on women. They must come out and show leadership, direction and do a good job. With those remarks, I support the work of the Committee hoping that the nominee does a good job."
