    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I second this Report for appointment of Mr. Jerome as PS in the State Department of ICT. During the approval hearings, the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation noted that the nominee had the necessary qualifications and extensive experience in the public service having worked with the Government for the last 21 years. He had worked in the Government Information Systems Service from the year 1997 to 2011, rising from an ICT officer position to Assistant Director of ICT hence gaining a lot of experience in the ICT sector. As the Director of Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) Mr. Jerome has played a key role in rolling out of IFMIS to all county governments. The nominee has no integrity issues having been cleared by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and equally no Member of the public has raised a complaint about his integrity. Finally, during the vetting, the nominee exhibited impressive knowledge and understanding of issues relating to the State Department of ICT. Having considered the suitability, capacity and integrity of the nominee, the Committee recommends that this House approves his nomination for appointment by His Excellency the President to the position of Principal Secretary, State Department of Information, Communication and Technology. I second this report and support his appointment. Thank you."
