"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute. I support the nominee who displayed in the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives that she is very competent and has worked in many places. In all those places she has worked, she proved capable of what she knows she can do. Ms Regina Akoth is also very learned. From what we saw in her curriculum vitae, she went to school and has done a lot of consultancy work, especially for the National AIDS Control Council and advisory in the Global Fund. We interacted with her because she is coming in when there are very many trade wars between foreigners and locals, especially the Chinese. They are dropping their prices to the bottom. Our traders import goods from China, but they are unable to match with their prices. We discussed the issue with her. She told us that she would meet all the stakeholders and discuss on how to come to an amicable solution, so that they can work amicably. There was the issue of the tariffs that had been announced by the United States of America (USA) Government. They were discussed in all the affected countries. The tariffs are too high in some countries but ours remains at 10 per cent. She tackled the issue and told us that she would adopt, enforce and manoeuvre ways to keep our products in the USA, regardless of the tariff. She will also push for AGOA to be renewed, so that we can export as much products as possible. Therefore, I highly recommend the nominee for this job. I am sure she will do a lot and help this Ministry. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."

Murwithania was contributing, he mentioned something that is very important. His Excellency the President has insisted time and again that we have ambassadors we send out of this country. We want them also to work as our commercial attachés and get markets for our products, and not just to sit in embassies and enjoy. Secondly, I come from the greater Meru region, and miraa is a key thing to us. We wish that as she gets market for coffee, tea, and other products, she also considers miraa and gets us good market for our product. Thank you. I support."

I also want to thank those Members who have contributed on this Motion. I have seen the interest, and I can confirm that the nominee is equal to the task. We noticed some special qualities in the nominee, Ms. Regina Ombam. Having gone through the questions that many Members of the Committee raised, we realised she had a lot of humility. She sat for three hours during the vetting process; I doubt any other Committee has had that. She has vast knowledge of different fields, and she has now resigned from a better paying job to come and serve. Her family values cannot be compared to any. She displayed her professionalism, and…"
