    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I would want to briefly talk about the individual nominees so that the House can have an idea of who they are. Hon. Speaker, the first one is Amb. Boaz Kidiga Mbaya. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and Literature from the University of Nairobi. In addition, he holds a Postgraduate Diploma in International Relations from the same university. He was a career civil servant who rose from junior levels to become the Permanent Secretary (PS), Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 2005/2006. He has been an Ambassador in so many countries. He also informed us that he is currently the Executive Director of Centre for Policy Analysis which is an independent think tank consultancy firm specializing in public policy analysis, research management and training. The Committee noted that the nominee had a wealth of experience in policy formulation analysis and implementation, having worked in the public service for the entire period of his career. His experience will come in handy while discharging responsibilities as a member of the Privatization Commission. Being a diplomat, I believe he will be very useful in the Privatization Commission, given that there will be a lot of diplomacy to be done between the stakeholders, the Government and the public."
