    "content": "PhD in Education, Communication and Technology and a Masters of Philosophy in Religion both from Moi University. She has held various leadership positions. This is a lady who has grown from being a secondary school teacher to a university lecturer, assistant dean of students and to a dean before joining the Ministry. All across, when we looked at her record, she has performed very well. As we support this nominee, our prayer is that Members of Parliament will get the impact of her being the Principal Secretary (PS) because already, we have the new technical institutes that we have started building in our constituencies. Our hope is that when she comes in, she will fast-track the issues of making sure that those technical training institutes have enough tutors and tools for training so that they are not just “white elephant” projects, but will impact on our young people who want to go to technical institutes. Hopefully, this year, we are going to do the next additional 60 technical institutes. Finally, each constituency in this country will have a well-equipped technical training institute that is going to help our youth in training. We all know where the money is. With technical institutes, you can never go wrong. As I thank my Committee, I urge this House to adopt our Motion and to support this nominee. I also want to thank the President. This time round, we got very well qualified persons. From the time we started discussing this from yesterday, today, if you look at somebody like Dr. Mwinzi on her role in rebranding of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector and technical training institutes and her experience in public financial management, the project planning and management of technical institutes, policy formulation and implementation, she answered the questions very well. I want to congratulate the President and his Deputy for giving us qualified persons. We are hoping that they are going to make Kenyans proud. They have very good curriculum vitaes (CVs). The best thing we would expect from these nominees is to go and do the best for this country. Without adding more, I beg to move. I want to request my Deputy, Hon. Melly, to second. Thank you."
