    "content": "was a member of the National AIDS Control Council and from 2010 to 2012, he was the Chair of the Kenya Tourism Development Corporation. I know that right now, we are going through serious challenges and I must say this on behalf of the Commission. I want to be very frank that we have not done what we ought to have done simply because of lack of resources or other logistical hitches. Our core mandate is to attend to the welfare of the Members of Parliament and members of staff. If we do not do that, then we have no business. I appreciate that over the last five months, so many Members have been without offices. It is a reality. This is being addressed. I know a number of Members who are serving in different Committees lack the necessary technical support in terms of staffing. These issues are being addressed and I am sure, very soon, some of these issues will be history. Taking that into account, we felt we needed to benefit from the experience and expertise of two individuals who are going to complement what we are already doing. The other person in the name of Jennifer Barassa completed Nairobi University in 1977 with a Bachelor of Education, namely, BA Arts. Between 1978 and 1990, she taught at Lenana High School. Between 1980 and 1984, she was the National Coordinator for Kodak. Between 1984 and 1988, she was Production Manager with Boots Company. Between 1988 and 1990, she was a Manager with Johnson and Johnson. Between 1990 and 1991, she was a manager with the Sterling Health and between 1992 and 1993, she was a consultant for the East African Air. Between 1993 and 1994, she was a Group Director for McCann Erickson. From 1995 to date, she is a Top Image consultant, a founder and Chief Executive of Top Image Limited. Between 2003 and 2005, she was a member of Kenya Women Finance Trust. Between 2005 and 2007 she was a member of the Organization of Women on International Trade. She was also a member of the National Council for Women of Kenya."
