    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I will try to summarize and I will start with the Committee’s observations on the suitability of Mr. Mutea Iringo. Mr. Mutea Iringo holds a Masters Degree in International Relations and a Bachelors of Arts Degree from the University of Nairobi. In his employment history, he is currently the Permanent Secretary, Internal Security. He has served this Government for over 26 years, starting as a District Officer and rising to the level of Permanent Secretary. Hon. Speaker, Sir, in terms of achievements, he has achieved a lot in this Ministry during his tour of duty in the Government and he has enacted quite a number of legislations to promote issues touching on security and Provincial Administration. He has drafted a policy on small arms and light weapons. He has also drafted a policy on peace and conflict management. On the issue of integrity, he takes the box. On the overall suitability, I would say he takes the box because he was able to display exceptional abilities in handling security matters and also excellent understanding of what obtains in this country, especially on issues of security and management of Provincial Administration. Hon. Speaker, Sir, we had an affidavit by Messrs Mbugua and Mburu. These two gentlemen raised issues concerning Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs); and also members of the Provincial Administration who actually misappropriated funds meant for IDPs. He convinced the Committee that he actually dealt with those matters professionally. As we speak now, most of the officers who stole those funds have been sacked and a good number are answering some of these allegations in court. So, overall, the Committee found this nominee very suitable for this job. Ms. Josephta Mukobe had the relevant qualifications. She has a Masters Degree in Human Resource Management from the University of Manchester and also Bachelor of Arts degree in humanities from the University of Nairobi. Just for the information of hon. Members, this nominee comes from the constituencies of people with disabilities."
