"content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to support the Motion. I sit in this Committee and we vetted these nominees and they qualify for the position for which they have been nominated for approval. I saw Charity Kisotu whom I can associate with given that her teaching background is similar to mine. She also has CPA qualifications. This was a very good choice given that the marginalised regions of this country were considered. These nominees have passion for the job. They talked about bank interest rates. Kenyans have suffered a lot when it comes to interest rates. The nominees embraced the recent law which we passed in this House on regulating bank interest rates. They talked passionately about this and I support them. On issues of safeguarding depositors’ money in banks, they showed us that they are well informed. They promised to ensure that the interests of depositors are taken care of and that under their watch, banks will not collapse anyhow thus leading to losses on the part of depositors. I could see they are in touch with the matter and that is a good thing. The issue of regional balance was well addressed. I can see representation from the Coast, Central, Rift Valley and Nyanza provinces. The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the CBK is from Nyanza Province. I believe in terms of regional balance, it is not badly off and it is a good thing. Even when it comes to the Rift Valley, there is somebody from the North and South and we are not complaining. I can see there is balance because it covers all the regions in the Rift Valley."
