That blends well with the profession of Mr. Abdullahi. The other one is Madam Beatrice Kosgei, who is also an advocate of the High Court, with over 30 years experience, and brings in legal expertise to the Board. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when it came to David, the Committee raised concerns as far as credibility of academic papers were concerned. He was not able to present a copy at that particular moment. His names were mixed up in that the names in the final certificates and Identity Card seemed different. However, I would like to thank the Secretariat because we tasked them to go to the bottom of this and ask Kenyatta University to ascertain if this gentleman had been in that institution, and this was"

"content": "affirmed. I was concerned because David was the youngest in this team. Opportunities need to be given to both the women, men and the youth. As I said, this Board represented all - women, men, and the youth - and David was among the youth. Further to that, David is an expert in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). So, we have an expert in ICT, management, an advocate of the High Court, and Sophie, with banking and finance experience. These four Board members come from different areas of expertise and were able to showcase experience and dedication in terms of how, when they sit in the Board, they will ensure that what needs to be done as far as their role is concerned will be achieved. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my colleague, Sen. Mungatana, has raised an important point that we also brought out when we were doing this vetting, on the issue of having many directors and Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) in different government institutions, who keep on acting for years, yet we have boards that are supposed to undertake their role and confirm them, or the right person. I would like to support and urge that the Board should now be able to take up that role as their first key mandate and confirm the different directors within the different institutions the people who have been working for a long period. You realize that they work for a long period and then after a short while, someone just comes from the blues with less experience, not understanding the nitty-gritties of some of the issues that we have been addressing. These are some of the stakeholders that we normally invite and engage in the Committee. So, they are best suited to take up this role. I, therefore, urge that the Board, with the speed that it deserves, to ensure that these confirmations are done on time. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when you read the names of these four nominees, you will realize that there is regional balance. They come from the different parts of this country, which is a plus. We were also able to interrogate them to ensure that they are able to oversight the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) Governor. Earlier on, I raised through a Statement the issue of CBK rates that have been proposed---"

Is it, therefore, factual for the replier to assert that these people come from different regions of the country, yet half the number come from Uasin Gishu? We should be factual. This is in the report of the Committee. I am not making these things up."
