    "content": "the opinion that working experience as a head teacher is not equivalent to experience in financial management and administration and, therefore, concluded that Mrs. Deborah Lotodo does not have specialization or experience in financial management and administration. Therefore, she does not qualify. Mrs. Miriam Kahika, who has since passed away was appointed by the Minister under Section 4(1)(f)(ii). However, her CV was not tabled in the House and the Committee was not able to get it even after requesting for the same severally. Although the Committee appreciates that it is difficult to obtain her CV due to her passing on, the Committee drew the conclusion that she does not qualify as there is no evidence to prove otherwise. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, given that the appointment of the Chairman of the board is made by the President as provided for under Section (4)(1)(a), and no specific qualifications are stipulated, the Committee did not probe the appointment of Mr. Charles Muoki nor his CV had been submitted by the Minister. Currently, there are still vacancies in the board of management according to the KBC Act, Cap.221 due to the expired terms and positions which had not been filled. Judging from the findings, the Committee, therefore, concludes that Section 4(1)(a) to (e) of the KBC Act, Cap.221 on appointment of Executive Director was complied with. The Minister did not comply with the first limp of Section 4(1)(f) in the appointment of Mr. Charles Muhia and Rev. Simon Kiuta Lunyayo. The Minister complied with Section 4(1)(f)(iii) in the appointment of Mr. Ben Gituku. The Minister did not comply with mandatory provisions of Section 4(1)(f)(iv) in the appointment of Mrs. Deborah Lotodo, and Mrs. Miriam Kahiga is not qualified as the Committee did not have the benefit of scrutinizing her CV. In view of the above observations and findings, the Committee recommends that the Minister moves with speed to reconstitute the board to ensure that the appointments comply with the provisions of Section 41(f) of the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation Act, Cap.221. I wish to thank the Committee members for having scrutinized this issue and made these recommendations. I humbly ask Prof. Kaloki to second the Motion."
