"content": "input. Having come from the university, I have no doubt about her ability to perform in the office. Those who have gone through the University of Nairobi, lectured and worked through that line are arguably the best that you can have in this country. My party Chairman is insisting I repeat that, but it is already on record. The issue of public service is becoming a critical question that we need to discuss honestly and soberly as a country. There is a growing feeling that, first of all, the public service does not seem to be in sync with the changing environment, both locally and internationally, to enable them discharge their mandates. When you have a chance to talk to most of the public servants, they complain of unfair and bad working conditions. I hope Mary Kimonye will make all the efforts that she can to put into place work studies and work processes that will enable them to perform adequately and achieve their targets. It beats sense to employ somebody, give him or her a desk and not facilitate him or her to do the work – most of it involving fieldwork. It beats logic for an agricultural extension officer not to have ways and means of getting to the site. With those few remarks, I support the appointment and hope that she will deliver and change the face of the public service."
