    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Report of the Committee and support the appointment of Ms. Wangui Muchiri as a Commissioner in the Salaries and Remuneration Commission. A lot has been said about her and I want to add my voice in supporting her, given that she has the requisite qualifications and wealth of experience. She is coming in at a time when the SRC is on the spot. It requires the injection of new blood to it. We are all aware – it is in the public domain – of the terms and conditions the police force has been wanting. We are talking about the SRC at a time that the police service is having many challenges. We have had numerous cases of homicide, suicide and many other unwarranted killings within the service that mainly emanate from issues of the state of the mind. As much as many people are saying that they are not supporting Muchiri because she is a woman with experience, I am happy that it is a woman who has been picked for this position. As women, we have a different perspective in the way we look at social issues that affect our people. There can be no better person than a woman who can add value to this Commission by virtue of one, being a woman and the way they are natured; two, her experience and three, she is young and, therefore, she will connect with the issues that young people are facing today. Once again, I support. Thank you."
