    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to second our Chairman. I want to confirm that our Committee thoroughly vetted Madam Anne and she proved herself to be competent. We looked at all aspects as already enumerated by the Chairman and she was able to appropriately answer most of the questions that we asked her. On the issue of qualification, it is needless to repeat that the candidate qualifies. She is currently a PhD student and has a Masters Degree. She met all the requirements. Secondly, on the issue of experience, we learnt that Anne has a wealth of experience having worked in several organisations. Prior to coming to SRC, she worked at HELB and she is well versed with the issues and mandate of SRC. However, we need to challenge the candidate. Once she takes that position, there will be a lot of work that will need to be done at SRC. She should be able to use her experience to fast- track the process to ensure that the evaluation exercise is concluded. With the kind of budget we have given them, which is Kshs0.5 billion, they should be able to outsource, get the right skills that they require to enrich the process so that the exercise of rationalisation of salaries can be concluded, and we do not have workers strikes in every department demanding salary increments. We want the SRC to match jobs to their worth, determine salaries, rationalise the whole process and bring this exercise to conclusion. This lady also exhibited a very strong personality, which is very good for a leader in this kind of position. She proved beyond reasonable doubt that she is competent and qualified for this position. I support. I want to appeal to all my colleagues and Members of this House to support the appointment of Anne because she qualifies for this job."
