    "content": "knowledge and experience having served in various institutions and organisations across the country and notably this particular nominee served well for so many years in the banking sector. This is very important because many times very few people serve for over 25 years in various capacities in banking and it gave this particular nominee a very good credit. That, the nominee exhibited expressive knowledge on topical issues in the East African affairs and generally in addition to the Northern Corridor Development. She went out of her way to prepare for this particular vetting and gave a very good presentation. In accordance, with Article 78(1) and (2) of the Constitution, the nominee is a Kenyan citizen and does not hold any dual citizenship and therefore, is fit to hold this office. That, the nominee satisfies the requirements on leadership and integrity having been cleared by the DCI, KRA on tax compliance and HELB. This is one particular nominee who was able to give us her net worth without hiding. I also want to articulate that we did not receive any adverse information on this nominee from EACC, which is the constitutional body mandated to ensure compliance and enforce the provisions of Chapter Six of the Constitution. The nominee has never been convicted in a court of law for any offence in the past three years. As stipulated in Article 75(1) of the Constitution of Kenya, the nominee indicated that she has no potential conflict of interest of any form or creed. That, the nominee satisfies the requirements of Article 77(1) of the Constitution and that she does not intend nor has any dream of participating in any other gainful employment. The nominee does not hold any political office and has therefore satisfied the provisions of Article 77 of the Constitution of Kenya. Dr. Susan has never been dismissed from office under Article 72 of the Constitution for contravening Articles 75(1), 76, 77 and 78 of the Constitution on conflict of interest, financial probity of State officers, restriction on activities of State officers and on dual citizenship, respectively. To conclude, I urge Members of this august House to read the comprehensive Report of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations in order to fully appreciate and enrich the debate. I further urge Members to adopt the recommendation of the Committee contained in this Report. After moving this Motion, I beg to call upon the Member for Mandera North, Hon. (Maj.) Bashir to second."
