    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to contribute to the Report by the Select Committee on Appointments. From the onset, I support this Report with amendments. The amendment is on the rejection of Peninah Malonza. I will table an amendment to delete that rejection and approve her appointment. I will ask the House that when the Question will be put on Madam Peninah Malonza, we negative it, so that we approve her appointment. Reading the observations of the Committee, the reason why the Committee erred on the Report is that the nominee is the former Deputy Governor for Kitui County, having served from 2013 to 2017. She was a former partner and Training and Support Director for Compassion International-Kenya Office from 2012 to 2013. She also served as a Programme Supervisor of Compassion International from 2010 to 2012. She was a Senior Programme Facilitator from 2009 to 2010 and a programme facilitator for Compassion International from 2006 to 2009. The nominee also served as a Project Director for Changamwe Baptist Church between 2002 to 2006. She holds a Master’s Degree in Project Planning and Management, which she got in 2008. She has a Higher Diploma in Psychological Counselling Management, which she got in 2007; and a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from the University of Nairobi in 1998. When you look at this Curriculum Vitae and at the recommendations of the Committee, Observation No. 7 states: The nominee did not demonstrate knowledge of topical, administrative and technical issues touching on the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Heritage. Consequently, the nominee lacks requisite abilities and experience to serve as the Cabinet Secretary for Tourism, Wildlife and Heritage. That observation actually contradicts what the Committee has written up there about the nominee. Therefore, maybe the nominee had a lapse when she appeared before the Committee. Even in the last Administration, the Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) in the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Heritage was the former Inspector-General of the National Police Service, Joseph Boinnet. He appeared before Parliament to collect views from Members, where they come from and where we have wildlife. In Endebess Constituency, we have Mount Elgon National Park. We contributed views to Boinnet’s Committee. Having been an Inspector-General, he was not an expert on tourism, but listening to him as he appeared before the Committee, he had a grasp on ideas.
