    "content": "In examining the nominee, the Committee was guided not only by legal statutes, but by conscience and public expectation, fully aware of the words of Thabo Mbeki: “The people of Africa are not indifferent to good governance; they are hungry for it.” Thus, those who seek to serve must be judged not by their promise, but by their preparation, their record and their vision. The Committee’s vetting exercise was conducted in a public forum, anchored in the principles of Chapter Six of the Constitution, the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, the Public Service Commission Act and the Leadership and Integrity Act, and was focused on assessing the nominee’s academic credentials, professional experience, leadership vision, moral standing and public acceptability. With respect to her academic background, the Committee noted that Dr Karugu holds a Doctor of Business Administration degree; a Global Executive Masters in Business Administration (GEMBA) Strategy degree; a Postgraduate Certificate in Small and Medium Business Management; and a Bachelor of Commerce degree. Dr Karugu's academic and professional portfolio demonstrates intellectual rigour and technical competence and satisfies the requirements of Section 47 (2) (ii) of the Public Service Commission Act. These qualifications are not just academic achievements but instruments of public utility."
