    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I too stand to support the nominee, Hon. Martin Otieno Ogindo as the Chairman of Kenya Fish Marketing Authority. I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Blue Economy, Water and Irrigation. The nominee appeared before us after His Excellency forwarded his name to this House for consideration. I want to state here today that the nominee, Martin Otieno Ogindo, is highly qualified for this job. He has a Masters in Science, Finance Option. He has worked with the Agricultural Corporation, as an advisor to the Governor of Nairobi County and was a Member of this House. On top of that, he has a mastery of the sector he has been nominated to be in charge. He comes from the lake region and we do not have any doubt in our mind that this is the person who is best placed for this position. As we speak, the blue economy is more or less a new sector of this country. I know His Excellency the President of the Republic of Kenya is very passionate about it. It is important to know that when this nominee appeared before us, he was even able to tell us the different types of fish that are found in Lake Victoria and the oceans. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I, therefore, want to support my Chairman and say that this is a person who will do a good job in this sector. It is also important to note that he is ready for work. As I speak, the Government has put up very many landing sites where when fish are collected they will be taken for processing. We also need to be in the frontline of exporting our fish to other countries. Hon. Ogindo has traversed this country and he knows all these landing sites. Therefore, I want to support the Chairman of the Blue Economy, Water and Irrigation Committee by saying that Hon. Martin Otieno Ogindo is very suitable for the position. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
