    "content": " Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As I rise to second, I also want to confirm, as one of the Members of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning that joined with the Standing Committee of Finance and Budgeting of the Senate, that indeed, we established that the candidates who were nominated for this particular position had the requisite experience and knowledge of what is expected of them. I will be right to say that the economic situation of countries – Kenya being one of them – requires people who can understand and measure the direction a country is going. Bringing on board such people is the direction that Kenya is focussing on in expanding its economy through the right policies. Even as I request this House to approve the nominees, I call upon the nominees to ensure that they bring on board good governance and a focus that will accommodate the changes in technology, so that we can develop our economy in terms of industrialisation and innovation, and onboard young Kenyans who are energetic and passionate to participate in building our economic blocks. Lastly, during vetting, we had a challenge with one nominee, Mr David Simpson Osawa Owuor. His names were varying in his documents. As a committee, we had to undertake due diligence to establish the ownership of the documents that he provided. What I want to request Kenyans is that whenever they have a challenge with a name in their documents, they should not waste time. They should regularise their name so that it does not bring a challenge like what faced us as a committee. We had to fact find to ensure that the person we were vetting was indeed the right person, Mr. David Simpson Osawa. Having said that, I beg to second the Motion."
