    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, let me take this opportunity to congratulate Dr. Lydia Nzomo and also thank the President for appointing her. This has been done after a long period of time. This is justice delayed, but it has been now given. I am a member of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology and we went through her papers. The lady is very articulate and a qualified Kenyan. It is high time Kenyans got the right people in the right places. I believe with a lady of the competence of Dr. Lydia Nzomo, the TSC will experience leadership that will transform the TSC and there will be proactive leadership. I am asking her to ensure that once she is given this responsibility, she should be proactive in her roles so that we do not have the threats of teachers striking now and then. In my opinion, threats of teachers’ strikes are a sign of things which are not working well. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for a long time the TSC has not had a complete leadership. By Dr. Nzomo coming on board and providing essential leadership, we will have a more vibrant TSC. This is a very important commission that manages one of the largest human resource base which is entrusted with the responsibility of forming, informing and transforming the young minds in this Republic. It is high time TSC is given a person of the calibre of Dr. Lydia Nzomo, with the capability and proven track record. She rose through the ranks from a classroom teacher, assistant staffing officer, to Senior Deputy TSC Chief Executive Officer. I believe with her competence and her experience in all sectors in Education, she will be very useful in transforming the TSC. With these few remarks, given the fact that many members also want to contribute, I beg to support her appointment. Hon Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are Kenyans who are goons for hire; they should stop being paid as goons for hire so that they stop other people’s advancement. They should do what they are supposed to do instead of being used as goons for hire. Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker."
