    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know what I am apologizing for. However, I apologize to Ms. Amina Abdalla. I know you are Ms. Amina Abdalla and not Amina Ahmed. I stand here to support the wonderful job that this Committee has done. However, I am concerned about the criteria for the disqualification of a very well able lady called Amina Ahmed who has been described as having a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Economics and French. She has 22 years’ experience in the banking sector and rose to the rank of Regional Director of Kenya Commercial Bank. Today, she opted to go and work as a consultant in an audit firm. She was disqualified on the ground that she lacked the level of knowledge that we need. I do not know what criterion was used. If she had a record of lack of integrity, had a record of corruption or had conducted herself improperly, then we can say we can disqualify her. I believe that the party that nominated Ms. Amina Ahmed did some vetting before they presented that able lady to the committee. I propose that this Committee considers an amendment so that we can approve this together with her name."
