    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to second the Motion for the approval of nominee, Mr. John Morange Omenge for appointment as PS for State Department of Mining. The nominee, Mr. John Morange Omenge, was vetted by our Committee. We did the vetting on his suitability for the position of PS, his competence, both academic and professional qualifications, his personal integrity as well as his vision and leadership capabilities as the incoming PS or mining. Mr. Omenge is a career civil servant who has served our country as a geologist for over two decades. He holds master’s and bachelor’s degrees both in the same field of geology. He rose through the ranks from a seasoned geologist to chief geologist and to the position he holds today as the head of geophysics in the Ministry of Energy. He underwent academic and professional training compounded further with vast practical field and office experience. Mr. Omenge was awarded fellowship by the Geological Society of Kenya for his distinguished service and for his contribution to the development of geophysics in this country. Further, he satisfied the Committee on the requirements of Chapter Six of the Constitution on leadership and integrity. This nominee demonstrated a lot of passion and commitment for his work. He told the Committee that it is common for him to work late in the evening and very early in the morning, as well as on Sunday after church, to ensure that his job gets done. He really impressed the Committee with his vast knowledge on mineral wealth that is spread all over our nation whereby he was even able to tailor that information by telling every Member of the Committee the kind of mineral wealth available within their own counties. I strongly second Mr. Omenge’s approval and urge this House to approve his appointment. In conclusion, I appreciate the President for appointing such a highly committed Kenyan to serve as the Principal Secretary in the Ministry of Petroleum and Mining. I beg to second."
