    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I seek to second the Motion for approval of Solomon Kitungu as the Principal Secretary for State Department of Transport. In seconding the Motion, I would like to point out some of the cardinal points we considered as a Committee during the vetting process. We all know that the transport sector is one of the very key engines as we steer our country ahead. Considering the sensitivity of this docket, as a Committee, there were a few key issues we were particularly keen on, more particularly the academic qualifications, employment record and relevance of this to this position, knowledge of the relevant subject, integrity, overall suitability for the position, potential conflict of interest, just to state but a few. We all know what the transport industry has been undergoing in this country. When you look at the airports, the matatu industry and many other sectors which are related to the transport industry… As a Committee, we scrutinised all the issues as presented by the nominee and found them factual and accurate. It is important I point out the fact that the nominee related very well and in view of this, we found him fit for appointment as the Principal Secretary for State Department of Transport. I second."
