    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I will be brief. I also happen to know the nominee, Mary Kimonye. The person we are describing is strong enough to handle the docket. It is only that we need to worry, as a nation, about the multiple circulars that come from the Treasury about the management of the Ministry of Public Service. If you check in many departments, public servants who have either retired or died have not been replaced for nearly 15 years. If you go to many of those departments, they have done interviews but there are circulars saying they freeze employment. So, we would wish to ask this strong character, diligent and honest lady to come out with force. Let her use her eyes and clear the mess that is in the public service because of those numerous circulars by the Treasury, which does not care how you do performance contract yet you do not have the personnel to do the job. I will give a quick example and end the story. In Igembe North, we need an engineer to approve our bills of quantities. I asked the Secretary for Works in the Ministry of Public Works and she told me that they completed the interviews in April last year but the Treasury told them they could not hire. So, all the nominees were interviewed and they are ready, but nine months later they are not employed. That is not how you run a country. With those few remarks I beg to support the nomination of Mary Kimonye as the Principal Secretary, State Department for Public Service."
