    "content": "going to prioritise when he settles in office. I was very impressed with that particular feedback. Questions included issues of cryptocurrency in this country. His views in terms of what he sees and what he thinks about cryptocurrency were brought out. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we also dealt with his worth as a businessperson. He honestly and clearly indicated that he was worth about Kshs1.1 billion. This is someone who has made his own investments. It really came out that he is much more focused on ensuring that he is going to put his skills and required time to improve on the policies at CBK. He also brought out the issues of good governance and leadership during this vetting process. Having been in different organisations, he is vast with different cultures within this country. He is able to interact and work well with different groups, dynamic cultures, and regions in this country. I do also note that there was so much commitment from both sides; the National Assembly and the Senate. I take this opportunity to thank my colleagues from the National Assembly, on their commitment to how we walked this vetting process to the point that we did the reporting. As I have always stood here, I have appreciated the Secretariat. I take this opportunity to appreciate the Committees of Finance and Budget of both Houses, the Secretariat team of the National Assembly, and that of the Senate for the vast and robust work that they did during the reporting process. It was well done. I cannot forget to thank my colleagues led by Sen. Ali Roba, who has led this Committee very well. I have had a great opportunity to serve as his Vice Chairperson. I am very proud of him because he has given me a lot of guidance and support. I cannot forget other Senators including Sen. Oketch Gicheru, Sen. Faki, and one of the greatest leaders that we have, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, Sen. Shakila Abdalla, Sen. Korir, Sen. Tabitha Keroche, and Sen. Onyonka who have been very supportive during this process. We have walked this journey together as a Committee. I appreciate the efforts that, as colleagues, they put to ensure that we execute the business of the Committee, knowing that it has timelines. So, we have to go out of our way to ensure we do timely Bills, and approvals like this that you see. Previously, we had an opportunity to vet the Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya, Dr. Susan Koech. It was a process that we executed so well. For me, it has been a good learning process that has made me learn these processes as required. All said, the candidate is qualified and up to the task. He can deliver under the set time that is required. I am confident that he is going to deliver."
