    "content": "You realize that the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade is probably the only Committee that had five nominees reporting to it for vetting and that probably tells you the enormous task that this Committee has in terms of ensuring that the relevant Ministries or Principal Secretaries who have been appointed deliver on the huge mandate that they have been given. It is important to realize that under the current devolved system of Government, many people are focusing on how they are going to share the national cake. I think what we were looking at is whether the Principal Secretaries nominated understand their roles in terms of baking this cake so that it can be shared at both the national and devolved levels. If you look at the dockets that the nominees have been appointed to; The National Treasury, Planning, Devolution, Industrialization and Enterprise Development, Commerce and Tourism, these are the economic drivers of this economy. These are the economic drivers of this country. We were not just looking at people who were bringing their previous experience. We were also looking at people who were bringing fresh ideas; on how they will come with creative and innovative ways to offer solutions to the challenges which this country is facing right now. We are all aware that almost every section of the country is clamoring for better pay. As we are talking today, we know that our education sector is grinding to a halt because teachers are on strike. The reason being, it is not very many Kenyans who are thinking of how they are going to raise our economy."
