"content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. From the outset, I would like to support the nominees. Looking at the credentials and the Report from the Committee, these are people who are competent and have relevant experience. They are also well educated and have displayed leadership qualities that are relevant to the areas they have been nominated to serve. They will help this country. I believe if these nominees are as competent as they have been in their previous engagements, then they will be able to contribute immensely to our country. We are at the take-off phase in Kenya and we need leaders such as those we are approving here. If they do what they are required to do as per their qualifications, they will be able to take up their roles well. I have seen the qualifications of Sammy Itemere. I understand his expected responsibility and I also heard the comments he made, especially on what he is going to do about the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) and the entire communication sector. I hope once he is there, he will be able to improve efficiency. There are certain departments within the Ministry that he has been nominated to that he needs to improve, for example, the area of communication. There are services like the Expedited Mail Service (EMS) which have become unreliable because it takes about two to three weeks before a mail is delivered. These are some of the corporations that are just a burden to the citizens. I hope that if he is given this responsibility he will improve that sector. We also have Andrew Ngáng’a, who I hope will bring competence in the area that he has been nominated to. I hope he will bring efficiency when it comes to dealing with petroleum products so that we are able to get the benefits of oil. I hope that Eng.
