    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the appointment of this great lady of Kenya. Let me take the opportunity to thank the President for seeing it necessary to bring her name to the Floor of this House for us to debate it and also to the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology and hon. Members for having approved this great lady who is well schooled and who is well experienced to take up this job. The TSC has suffered for long and so many things have not been happening because this position has been vacant for quite a while. There are so many things which have not been going right as far as education is concerned. We have so many teachers who are already on disciplinary list, who could have been vetted so as to go back to schools where we have so many shortages in our schools. Our children are suffering because they lack teachers. There are other functions of TSC which have not been functioning. Dr. Lydia Nzomo is well schooled as we can see on the list of her credentials and the experience she has amassed as far as education is concerned in this country is indisputable. Nobody can challenge that. We have been longing for this name to be brought here, but because of some hurdles and some interference from some quarters, it has taken long. It is on record that she has been picked by the vetting committee as number one twice or so and somehow she has been relegated to other numbers. The star has shone today. I thank the President and the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology. I fully support her appointment. Thank you"
