    "content": "I served with Hon. Anyanga in the 11th Parliament. He is a man whose integrity is unquestionable. He qualifies under Chapter Six of the Constitution as the Chair of the Committee as said. As I said, when Mr. Masese served as Director of Education in the Ministry of Education, he came across to me as a very committed civil servant. He did very well while at the Ministry of Education. Last month, when the Kabete NG-CDF under Hon. Wamacukuru was launching their strategic plan, Masese was there as the chief guest. I listened to him as he delivered his speech on that day. It was quite clear that he knew what NG-CDF is. Having come from an education background, he appreciated the immense contribution that NG-CDF plays especially in the development of our secondary and primary schools. Therefore, these three members on the board – Masese, Anyanga who has been a Member of Parliament (MP) and now Dr. Isabel Waiyaki, who has worked with NG- CDF and in the public sector, are people who will truly appreciate what MPs go through with their NG-CDF. Therefore, they will help us as we seek to enhance allocation of more resources towards NG- CDF. I am particularly happy that someone like Masese is on the board with his background in the Ministry of Education, now that NG-CDF is one of the arms in Government that will help in the implementation of educational policies, especially the 100 per cent transition. I hope and pray that as they sit on the board, as the Chair has said, they will move towards appointing a substantive CEO of the board. It is very unfair that the current CEO has been serving in an acting capacity for almost six years since 2011. It is very unfair to put somebody in an acting position. I hope that, as soon as we approve these board members, their first order of business will be to appoint a substantive CEO. I encourage them to consider CEO Mbuno who has served very well as the CEO of the NG- CDF Board. With that, I support the Motion and urge other Members to do the same."
