"content": "the fact that she has a vast experience gained from the PSC to handle diverse communities in the country. This lady has worked in the PSC the whole of her life. Actually she has worked there since she left college. So, she is very well versed with public institutions. We also realised that she meets constitutional and requisite statutory requirements pertaining to the job she is nominated for. Hon. Speaker, Nyokabi is turning 60 years of age this year. So, there was a concern by Members that she was too old for the position, but having discussed with her we realised that age is just but a number because she just completed her PhD last year. She convinced us that she is ready to take up new challenges that will come up with the new appointment. Hon. Speaker, finally, pursuant to Article 7 of the Public Appointments Act, the Committee found Dr. Florence Nyokabi Wachira suitable to be appointed as a member of the National Gender and Equality Commission. Hon. Speaker, the second nominee is Dr. Abdillahi Alawy who appeared before the Committee on 20th of February at 11 a.m. and I will give briefly the information that we got regarding him. One was that he holds dual citizenship. He is an American as well as a Kenyan. He has lived in America for the last 23 years starting 1989. He holds a PhD in Agricultural Education, specialising in women development research methods and programme evaluation from Ohio State University in the United States (US). He has worked in Alawy Consulting Group based in Mombasa as a Principal Scientist, Programme Evaluation and Research officer since June 2013."
