    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to thank the Committee for a job well done. The vetting was fair, and they settled on the right candidate. This country is on the verge of serious economic growth and for us to achieve that, we must support devolution. The CRA plays a critical role in ensuring that there is fiscal discipline. I think Dr. Jane Wangui is the right person to move us forward in terms of revenue allocation. Article 250(4) on composition, appointment and terms of office of all commissioners states that appointments to the commissions and independent offices shall take into account the national values referred to under Article 10, and the principles that the composition of the commissions and offices, taken as a whole, shall reflect the regional and ethnic diversity of the people of Kenya. In that Commission, there is ethnic diversity but it must be taken as a whole. You must look at that Commission and other commissions to ensure that you do not have skewed appointments where people only come from certain regions and others are left behind. That is just a caution for the Committees in future. I think the process was fair. I support the appointment of Dr. Jane Kiringai as the Chairperson of the CRA."
