    "content": "I support Mr Cyrell Wagunda, who demonstrated a great understanding of asset management and revenue-raising measures. His approach will improve the management of our assets and the performance of our institutions, such as universities. Almost all universities in the Republic of Kenya are going down and declaring redundancies. Where did the rain start beating our institutions? This nominee should investigate, establish the challenges and propose mechanisms for protecting our institutions. This is happening not only in our universities but also in our manufacturing sector, like the New Kenya Cooperative Creameries Ltd (New KCC), which is going to waste. Farmers have not been paid. What are the troubles? Nobody can explain. The county governments are losing land left, right, and centre. I come from a county where land grabbing is wanton. In the future, we will lack space to improve service delivery or establish institutions that will focus on people's needs. Mr Boniface Makokha challenged me. He is a teacher. He has a Master's Degree in Physics. He understands the issues of planning very well because he was exposed to an environment of dealing with people. Planning is not about technical science; it is about social science, dealing with people, reasoning with them and identifying projects that will affect and impact their livelihood. If the nominee is supported, he will transform our country. The first planning system started during the regime of the late President Mwai Kibaki when the Ministry of Planning was established. It came up with the Kenya Vision 2030, which has transformed the country. We need such a person to give us a future beyond 2030. Where will Kenya be in 2050 or 2060? Where will Kenya be in a hundred years? This will enable us to align our planning and budgetary processes to ensure we gear towards that. I second the nomination of Mr Boniface Makokha as the Principal Secretary nominee of the State Department for Economic Planning and Mr Cyrell Wagunda Odede as the Principal Secretary nominee for the State Department for Public Investment and Asset Management. Thank you."
