    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a wonderful day for the women. We are celebrating International Women’s Day and for the first time, we are debating and approving a woman to be the Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). This is good. Dr. Susan Koech is experienced with over 30 years in the banking industry. She has a PhD, as well as a Masters and Bachelors in business administration. She is also a member of the Kenya Bankers Association (KBA) and several professional bodies. She has the experience and is suitable. She is a Kenyan citizen who does not have any dual citizenship. We had some challenges last year on the same when someone was appointed as an ambassador but they had a dual citizenship. Dr. Susan Koech is competent. We are asking the two Houses to approve and the President to appoint her to that position. She should look at our CBK especially on forex where we have issues. Traders and business people who import goods to the country have complained that there is shortage of forex in the country. I hope that as soon as she reports, she will team up with the Governor of the Central Bank and ensure that we have enough forex in the country so that businesses do not stop doing what they are supposed to. She is suitable for that position. Mr. Speaker, Sir, therefore, I request this House to approve her nomination so that she is appointed, as soon as possible, to take that mantle and help the country. I support the Motion and request Senators to support it."
