    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I was also in that Committee. We sat down as a Committee and agreed that we were going to be guided by the relevant Acts and laws of this country. Indeed, if you refer to the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act of 2011, Section 6(7) is very clear and it states:- “An approval hearing shall focus on a candidate’s academic credentials, professional training and experience, personal integrity and background.” I agreed with the decision of the Committee with respect to the 15 nominees. For those, I stand behind the Committee. On page 66 of the report, under section 4.1.5, it talks about the Cabinet Secretary Nominee for Ministry of East African Affairs, Mrs. Phyllis Kipkingor Kandie. These are the observations of the Committee: “She is a holder of Bachelor of Commerce Degree, a holder of MBA from Middlesex University in United Kingdom in 1991. She is an investment banker and currently engaged as Director, Investment Advisory Services at Standard Investment Bank. She was a Business Advisory Consultant for Small and Medium Enterprises sector. She has never been charged in a court of law in this country. She has never been dismissed from office for contravention of provisions of Article 75 of the Constitution.”"
