    "content": "This vast spread of his certification gave him not only the qualification on paper but also brought about his experience when it comes to his 36 years working experience. What the Committee was also able to appreciate is that this particular position has also been given to one person who was also part to the CBK team for these number of years. It is not someone who is coming from a different organisation or entity but someone who has also been in this particular institution. The 36 years’ experience of Mr. Gerald comes and it is accompanied by his expertise on the payment systems, quality control, banking supervision, banking services and the financial market which is very key to this country. He holds the skills and expertise needed for the position. The experiences that he holds gives him the opportunity to adequately advise the CBK in terms of the economic matters. Remember he is a bachelors holder in matters economics. Therefore, his 36 years’ experience brings the blend of a qualified candidate in this particular position. A time back I was able to raise the concerns of fraudulent withdrawals in different banks. This is a matter that CBK was able to take up. During our vetting process, Mr. Gerald was able to come out on how to curb the fraudulent withdrawals by rogue fraudsters in this country among other nationals, fraudsters who have embarked on a system of online robbing and fraudulency through the modern digital banking system. He was able to highlight on the quality control measures that he has experience on and they continue to ensure that the over 42 banks that we have in this country are in place to ensure maximum quality control. The Committee was able to consider the nominee’s qualifications and also his work experience and membership to the relevant professional associates. We were able to keenly look on the issue of conflict of interest. We have a Conflict of Interest Bill that we await to be tabled before this House. Mr. Gerald was clean in terms of matters conflict of interest. The candidate was able to respond when it came to the sensitive issues of conflict of interest. He was very vast and was able to show not only managerial skills but also leadership skills pertaining the issue of conflict interest. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, the Committee having held the approval of the nominee regarding his suitability as per Article 231, was able to recommend that the Senate approves the nomination of Mr. Gerald Nyaomo Arita, for the appointment of the position of the Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya. Lastly, I wish to also appreciate our Secretariat, led by one Gitonga and the team, Beverly, Lucy Radoli, and Kioko, the team that we work closely with. We always appreciate them, because as I have always said, the Senate Committee on Finance and Budget is one of the committees. So, in conjunction with our Secretariat, we are able to work in hand to conclude what our mandate pertains. I wish to request that Senators approve the Report of the approval hearing of one Mr. Gerald for the position of the Deputy Governor, and call my colleague Member, whom we sit with at the Committee on Finance and Budget, the young man from the great County of Vihiga, sorry, Migori... Since we were in Vihiga County over this The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
