"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as stated earlier, I have heard comments from Members of Parliament and they are very positive. I am sure wherever the candidate is will take on board what has been recommended by various speakers. Therefore, the candidate has a wealth of experience and is a senior civil servant. I remember when I was the Minister of Public Service briefly, I met him in Mombasa when he was managing one of the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) stations. I was impressed by his presentations when I gave civil servants time to air their views on the challenges they were facing. As they say: “A new broom sweeps better.” Therefore, we expect this candidate to reform the Prisons Department. He should as well take cognizance of the fact that there is a report that was compiled by Maj. (Rtd) Madoka. The contents and recommendations of that report were implemented by none other than the former Vice-President, Hon. Moody Awori. That is why you see prisoners being ferried in good buses these days. These buses are now getting old. Therefore, we expect him to stick to that report and see what has not been implemented. We want him to implement that report and do better than before. I beg to move."
