    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Committee received the memoranda on Thursday, 6th November, 2014 at 5.00 p.m. At the expiry of the said period, the Committee had received two memoranda but they did not meet the threshold as they were not submitted in form of sworn affidavits. Therefore, the Committee did not consider them. Therefore, in accordance with the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval), Act 2011, we looked at the following:- (i) the academic qualifications of the candidate; (ii) her employment record; (iii) her professional affiliation; (iv) potential conflict of interest; (v) her knowledge of the relevant subject; (vi) her overall suitability for the position; and, (vii) tax compliance and integrity. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, during the sitting held on Tuesday, 11th November, 2014, the Committee conducted a face to face interview of the nominee. During the interview, the Committee observed that the nominee holds a PhD in Education Psychology from Kenyatta University; a Master of Arts Degree in Counselling Psychology from the United States International University and a Bachelor’s Degree, with Diploma option, from the University of Nairobi. With that particular academic qualification, the candidate is well-read and well-versed with education matters. She has a clear understanding of the education system in this country."
