    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to move the following Special Motion: THAT, taking into consideration the findings of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs in its Report on the Vetting of a Nominee for Appointment as Principal Secretary, laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 1st December 2022 and, pursuant to the provisions of Article 155(3)(b) of the Constitution, this House approves the appointment of Ms. Mary Muthoni Muriuki as Principal Secretary, State Department for Correctional Services. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Committee retreated yesterday and did exhaustive vetting. We have produced a Report which is available to all Members who wish to see the nature and character of the person by the name Ms. Mary Muthoni Muriuki, whom we vetted. We were satisfied in all aspects that she is suited to be the Principal Secretary for Correctional Services. Her knowledge of the subject matter was extensive and when we sought clarification, her answers to questions were excellent. As a result, we asked her one final thing: What her vision was for the Correctional Services Department? She told us that while the department requires reforming, she is set out to transform it for its betterment. We also observed her motherly love for persons in correctional services and this endeared the Committee. With those remarks, I urge the House to approve. I beg to move and request a Member of the Committee, Hon. Jane Maina of Kirinyaga County, to second."
