    "content": "The second person was Mr. Albert Fred Ekirapa, who appeared before the Committee on Friday, 27th September, 2013. He was nominated to serve as a Member of the Commission. He is 53 years old, and was born in Busia County. He is currently working with the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology as a Senior Deputy Director of Education, Directorate of Secondary and Tertiary Education. He holds a degree in Education Administration from the University of Nairobi and a Bachelor of Education (Science) degree from Kenyatta University. The selection panel had ranked him position nine with a mean score of 65.1 per cent. The Committee examined him on several general issues, and I am sure Members can go through them. The third person was Jacinta Kapiyo, who appeared before the Committee on Friday 27th, September, 2013. She was nominated to serve as a Member of the Commission. She was born in 1957 and hails from Homa Bay County. She is currently working with the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology as a Deputy Director of Education and is currently pursuing a doctorate degree in educational planning at the Catholic University of East Africa (CUEA). She holds a Master of Education degree from Kenyatta University and a Bachelor of Education degree from University of Nairobi. She has undertaken several professional courses, including introduction to education management for secondary schools and a certificate in education management, among others. We also met Mr. Willam Makubo Mwita, who appeared before the Committee on Friday, 27th September, 2013. He had been nominated to serve as a Member of the Commission. He was born in 1956 and comes from Migori County. He is currently working with the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology as Head of Department, Bursaries and Grants Section. He holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Strategic Management from the University of Nairobi and a Bachelor of Education (BEd) in Mathematics from the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The selection panel had ranked him position 16 with a mean score of 44.4 per cent. As stipulated by the TSC Act, only 13 names were forwarded to the selection panel and his name was not among those forwarded. I hope hon. Members are paying attention. Of the many questions that we asked Mr. Makubo, the only question he attempted to answer was about his qualifications vis-a-vis his appointment. He told the Committee that his distinguished performance when working in Telaganya Secondary School earned him a distinguished service medal from the Office of the President, as he was able to put up a school library, laboratory and install a generator, even without the support from the Government. That is the only question that Mr. Makubo properly answered before the Committee. We also vetted Mr. James M’uthuri Nkoroi. He appeared before the Committee on Friday 27th, September, 2013. He was born in 1960 and comes from Meru County. He is currently working with the Teachers Service Commission as the County Director, Samburu County. He holds a Master of Science degree, Applied Mathematics, from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), a Bachelor of Education (Science) and a Double Mathematics degree from Kenyatta University. The selection panel had ranked him position 12 with a mean score of 58.6 per cent. The The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
