    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I would like to start by commending the Committee and supporting the appointment of Dr. Jane Wangui to be the Chairperson of the CRA. The role of CRA is fundamental to the economic growth of this country. Appointing a personality like Jane is an indicator that we would like this Commission to be equal-eyed and to look at all areas of intervention in this country so that we can experience socio-economic development that Vision 2030 foresees. On her appointment, I am particularly impressed by her academic performance. This is also good. For a long time, we have had appointments that were not based on academic performance and did not inspire the Kenyan youth who are pursuing careers in such a sector. I commend the Committee for considering the academic excellence and achievements of this appointee. Dr. Jane also has a good history and track record of professionalism. Her professional interventions and itinerary is very attractive. It shows that she has the necessary experience that will change the trend of things. However, I wish to advise the appointee to take to another level the professionalism that is required in this duty so that Kenyans can appreciate that we have work ethics and values which can be applied in a sector like this one. This is very important. The Constitution foresaw the transitional period of devolution. That is why there is recommendation of taking functions to the counties progressively. But we seem to have made the mistake of putting everything in the mouth to the extent that counties cannot even chew it, leave alone swallow. So, this is an area we can revisit and the Commission should take up this as a responsibility to consider what the counties really need and how they can be supervised so that we have minimal wastage of resources. At the moment, the amount of wastage of resources is just too high. That is why we have temptations for people to overemploy and indulge in corrupt activities. So, the Commission should take seriously monitoring, evaluation and feedback so that we do not incur further wastage of resources.
