    "content": "I would like to speak about a few of the nominees so that Members can understand what we did as a Committee. Eng. Peter Kiplagat Tum is not just a nominee, but a seasoned public servant. He is a man of diligence and tested resolve. He holds a Master of Science in Energy Management from the University of Nairobi, a Bachelor in Industrial Technology from Israel University and a Postgraduate Diploma in Medical Electronics from Queen Mary University of London. With a Higher Diploma in Electrical Engineering from Kenya Polytechnic, his academic path reflects a mind honed for systems, strategy and precision. His technical acumen aligns with Kenya’s development footprint in the DRC. Eng. Tum has over 25 years’ experience in senior public service. He has stood at the helm of critical reforms as Principal Secretary in Sports, Labour, and Health, and as the Chief Executive Office of Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC). He brings a rare ability to weave cross-sectoral programmes, harmonise Government and non-State actors and drive impact with efficiency. His depth of governance experience satisfies the legal and strategic standards under Section 7(c) of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act. No objection was raised by the public on his nomination. The process under Article 118 of the Constitution was faithfully observed. His nomination sailed unopposed and rightly so. The Committee, therefore, recommends his appointment."
