    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to give a recommendation on Stephen Kirogo for the position of the Chairman of the PSC. I have known Stephen Kirogo for many years when he was in the public service. He started as a cadet District Officer. He has served in my county of Wajir. He particularly served in Wajir East Constituency as a DO. I have seen him rise through the public service for many years until he rose to the rank of the head of the State Corporations Advisory Committee. He was able to provide advisory service. I was a Managing Director (MD) in one of the parastatals and he was able to provide advisory services for the 265 parastatals within the country. He is a man who is extremely balanced. He was able to provide decisions and advisory services to all the parastatal chiefs in the country. Within that period, I am able to say and attest here in this august House that all public service institutions like the parastatals were manned by men of incredible ability. After he left SCAC, he became a Principal Secretary in the Office of the President. We have lost the glory of all public institutions and parastatals. Today, you cannot name the adviser of the parastatals but when Kirogo was there, we were able to point it out to Kenyans. He was reliable.
