Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion Special Motion: THAT, taking into consideration the findings of the Departmental Committee on Social Protection in its Report on the Vetting of Nominees for Appointment as Principal Secretaries, 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 the following persons as Principal Secretaries- (i) Ms. Veronica Mueni Nduva – State Department for Gender and Affirmative Action. (ii) Mr. Joseph Mogosi Motari – State Department for Social Protection and Senior Citizens Affairs. (iii) Mr. Ismail Madey – State Department for Youth Affairs. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Committee sat down yesterday and approved these three nominees. They are all qualified, suitable, capable and able to do their work. We based our approval on their academic credentials and professional training. We also checked their experience and integrity levels. They are all qualified. Ms. Veronica hails from Ukambani, specifically from Machakos and Makueni counties. She told us that when she was a young girl, Nyiva Mwendwa was a Member of Parliament. Her grandfather encouraged her to work hard so that she would one day ascend to higher levels. You could see her passion, drive and commitment when she was talking to the Committee. When we were campaigning for the new Constitution in 2010, Madam Veronica crisscrossed this country doing civic education and encouraging people to vote for whatever side they deemed right. Mr. Joseph Mogosi Motari hails from Kuria. He explained to us yesterday that given this position, he will streamline cash transfers. As Members of the National Assembly, we know that there are many problems with cash transfers. Most of the beneficiaries are over 70 years old and they wait for many months before they receive their cash. At that age, the money they receive is for medication and so, it does not help at all if you delay the transfer of their money. He promised us yesterday that if he is given the position, he will streamline that Department. Mr. Madey Ismael hails from Mandera County. He is a young gentleman and a hustler who proved to us that you can start from a very humble background and make it in life. He has a lot of experience in terms of the projects he wants to do with the National Youth Service (NYS). As a House, we know that the NYS has high levels of corruption. He promised us that given this opportunity, he will streamline the Department and make it a good place where youth will thrive and be accommodated to become better citizens. They will also be equipped with skills to develop this country."
