    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important Motion. I support the nomination of Jane Wangui Kiringai for the post of the Chairperson of the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA). The Committee did a good job. They did due diligence. For them to settle on her, it is not just because of anything else but her qualifications. As have been said by Hon. Chris Wamalwa, Micah Cheserem was a man. It is good to replace him with a woman so that we can care about gender balancing. From what I have seen on her resume, she has published extensively. I am happy to see she has done a paper on public spending inequalities in Kenya. This will help her very much when it comes to equitable sharing of revenue between county governments and the national Government. She has also worked with the World Bank and so, she has a lot of exposure. I have no doubt that she will bring new ideas to CRA. We cannot rubbish the good work that Micah Cheserem and his team did. They did a good job. I have no doubt that she will carry forward with her team and develop this country from where Mr. Cheserem and his team stopped.
