    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Report. I want to appreciate the fact that you recognise my debating skills both in and out of Parliament, especially on TV supporting Jubilee, and Hon. Wamalwa supporting the National Super Alliance (NASA). I support this Report from three fronts: First, it is my personal knowledge of Dr. Jane Wangui Kiringai, whom I have known since her first year at the university. I have worked with her in the academic journey until she got her PhD in Economics, after getting several Master’s Degrees. She is self-made. She does not come from a privileged position or family, but she is an example of effort well rewarded, hard work and sacrifice to the community. Dr. Jane Kiringai scored highly in all the parameters that were considered by the Committee. At this point, I want to thank the Committee for nominating her. From the academic point of view, the Member who seconded the Motion said that she is over-qualified. She has a Master’s Degree in Development Economics and a PhD in Economics. Development Economics is a relevant study because it shows that she has good experience and knowledge from both theory and practice on development priorities for this country. That puts her above the other applicants that vied for the position."
