    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Report on the approval of the nominee to the Chair of PSC. I also had reservations when I read the Report especially on the age of the candidate but after the explanation that has been given and the wide experience that has been quoted as a plus for him, I support his appointment with a rider that when the Chairman gets into the Public Service Commission, he will for once give a very serious thought to the problem of unemployment. We have jobless youth spread all over Kenya in all constituencies. We have graduates fresh from the universities out there who do not have jobs who are crying to us as Members of Parliament for help. It is important that the PSC be revitalised so that it renders service that is credible and of benefit to the people of the Republic of Kenya. Mr. Stephen Kirogo with his experience of many years, is likely to bring this to fruition. He is likely to ensure that the PSC is modified, modernised and works in the manner that is beneficial to us. It is also important to note that many Kenyans do not regard the public service as the first port of call when there are problems because they say it is riddled with corruption, inefficiency and some do-not-care attitude which is not appealing to the people of Kenya. It is therefore important that he looks into the Public Service Commission Act and if there are amendments that are necessary to be brought to this House, he should recommend them so that we are able to put in place proper legislation for purposes of ensuring that the people of Kenya are properly served. I have gone through the Report and I support that we approve the appointment of this person to this seat. Thank you."
