    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the nomination of Mohammed Nyaoga as the Chairperson, Dr. Ngugi as the Governor and Sheila Mmbijewe as the Deputy Governor of the CBK. I participated in the amendment to the CBK Act by Hon. Ogindo in the last Parliament, which, for the first time in the history of our country, requires that these office holders have to go through vetting by the National Assembly of the Republic of Kenya. The process that these individuals went through, from the PSC to the names being submitted to His Excellency the President shows that these are people with immense experience and qualifications. I am sure as Mr. Nyaoga told the Committee, if approved by this House and appointed by the President, he has to quit his position as the Chairman of Ecobank. He is a refined lawyer of immense experience both in the financial sector and as a legal practitioner. Mrs. Sheila Mmbijewe has worked in a number of key international and multinational organisations, including Standard Chartered Bank, at home, in the region and globally and she represents the face of great women in this country by serving at the CBK. Dr. Ngugi is a man with a very rich Curriculum Vitae (CV) and I want to agree with the Chairperson of the Committee. Vetting under the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act has certain criteria, starting with the qualifications of the individual to tax and health compliance. However, in doing that, Parliament is also under obligation to ask questions on family and social life; that is whether you are a pastoralist; whether you fast in the month of Ramadhan; whether you are a farmer; and whether you come from Suba, like the great lady I know called Hon. Millie Odhiambo. However, such information does not go into the Report. We want to tell our good friends in the media to pick factual information based on the Report that is here today. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
