The CRA is very important. We know very well that it plays a very critical role in sharing revenue, particularly the formula. I know that the first Commission had teething problems. Having gone through the CV of Jane Wangui, it shows that she is somebody who is committed and understands the passionate and compassionate aspects of devolution. I am convinced that, that is the right lady who is going to take that Commission to greater heights of prosperity.

I caution the incoming Chairperson to be unlike the previous Chairperson, who we saw giving different signals. When he met the governors, he talked differently and when he met the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

senators, he talked differently. My humble request to Jane, wherever she is, is that she should remain focused, objective and not to be intimidated by the governors. In the past, when the governors met, things were changed. The big problem in our counties today is corruption, which was devolved. As she gets this job - because looking at the mood of the House I see that she is going to get this job - she must be focused. In terms of revenue allocation, we must ensure that, as time goes by, we must increase the percentage of the amount that ...

Another issue about Jane is on gender balance and how she is going to fight corruption. She explained very well how she is going to ensure that corruption is dealt with because it has negated the principle of devolution. I request Hon. Members to support her approval so that she can go and start working immediately.

Hon. Speaker, is my friend Hon. Dawood in order to say that the nominee for CRA, Jane Wambui, has been nominated by Jubilee? We know this is a House and this was a collective responsibility. Both sides of the House are supporting her. Can he withdraw the statement that it is Jubilee that has nominated the Chairperson of CRA?

Sen. Juma Boy was my very close friend. He came to my constituency and I learnt so much from him. He was a charismatic debater and very truthful. Many politicians are sycophants but not Sen. Juma Boy. When we had a by-election in Malindi where Hon. Mtengo was elected, I happened to have been in same campaign team as him. We went round campaigning and the late Senator contributed much to the success of the CORD.

Hon. Speaker, in the bigger movement of National Super Alliance (NASA), we had identified Juma Boy as one of those who would be our mid-fielders. As a family, we have lost. We pray that at such a time of difficulty, the Almighty God gives the family of Senator Boy Juma Boy strength and comfort. He is the only Lord who consoles. It is written in the Bible, in the book of Revelations 7:17:
