"content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity. I happen to be one of the lucky ones today that my machine is working. At the outset, I support the appointment of these individuals in their capacities. This comes in the wake of the cleaning up that is being done by the President and the issue of Chapter Six which has been articulated very well by the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party, basically came into play. The individuals who were appointed, a few of them went home because of the suspicion that they were involved in corruption. I cannot doubt that this time round, the President has done a good job and you can hear the mood in the House. Members want you to put the Question because we do not have any serious contentions in this case because of the suitability and qualifications of those individuals. I have looked at the nominees and I have seen the careers that they have been having. The Ministries they have been given are more or less matched, except one or two who were in related careers. I happened to sit in the same Departmental Committee on Energy, Communication and Information with Hon. Kazungu Muzee. I can attest that this is a gentleman you can vouch for that he will do a good job in the Ministry of Mining. Despite the fact that his back ground is in Information Technology (IT), but he is well versed. He was a very serious manager in the IT department of International Business Machines (IBM). Therefore, I believe that he will do a good job. I had my reservations initially on the nominee by the name Willy Kipkorir Bett because that gentleman was the Managing Director of the Kenya Seed Company. At one time when we were doing our usual audits with Public Investments Committee (PIC), we visited the Kenya Seed Company in Kitale and, at that time, there was a bit of a problem. I can say the screws were not very intact as far as the management of Kenya Seed Company was concerned. However, 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."
