    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to second this Motion. The Chair has done a good job. He has raised all the points that we, as a Committee, had. The approval at the Committee level was unanimous both at the Senate and National Assembly. When you look at Dr Susan’s curriculum vitae, it is clear that she is the most qualified lady to hold the position of Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya. As the Chair said, she holds a PhD in Business Administration, a bachelor’s degree, and a Diploma in Banking. In terms of experience, she has held leadership positions in this country as a Principal Secretary both for East African Community (EAC) from 2018 to 2019 and State Department for Wildlife from 2019 to 2022. The Committee was expected to check the nominee’s suitability. This was done by checking her academic qualifications, experience and integrity. She is qualified in all those areas. I ask the House to approve the nominee so that we release her to start her duties. As we speak today, we have several challenges affecting our economy. In the past year, the Kenya Shilling has depreciated by over 30 per cent from Ksh100 per Dollar to Kshs135 currently. The cost of living is still an issue. I ask the House to approve the nominee so that she can resolve all those issues. I request the House to support the Motion. I second, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
