He is an associate chartered accountant. He has worked in various companies in Kenya. He has worked for Magadi Soda and Nairobi Hospital as the financial director, the Nairobi Women Hospital, Ernst and Young and Kenya Television Network (KTN). We also noted that he has been in the financial sector and has a lot of experience in the financial sector. Therefore, the Committee noted that he will also be of great help to CBK. The Committee recommended his appointment. The fourth nominee is Ms. Charity Kisotu. She is also a holder of a Masters degree from the University of Eastern Africa. She also has a wealth of experience. She has been nominated as a board member and even a chair of various boards in this Republic. She also has a wealth of experience in the field of finance. We deemed her fit, but there was a person by the name of Vitalis who submitted a memorandum doubting her integrity. He noted that when she was a board member in the National Water Conservation and Pipeline Corporation, there was a multi- million shilling scandal at the time Hon. Charity Ngilu was the Minister. However, when we looked at the memorandum, we realized that the person who presented it refused to sign it. That means that it did not meet the threshold that is required for a memorandum to be admitted. The rule of natural justice requires that one should substantiate any allegations that one has made against a candidate. So, the Committee did not take the memorandum into consideration since it did not meet the relevant sections of the law that the candidate had flouted. The Committee also noted that given her experience, she would be of help to the Board. Our last nominee was Ms. Dzombo. She is a Kenyan from Kilifi and has a Bachelors degree from the University of Nairobi. She has been a career civil servant. She has served for so many years in Public Service, rising to the rank of Permanent Secretary (PS) in the Ministry of Gender, Sports, Culture and Social Services.
