At the same time, I urge parents to be vigilant and monitor their children since they spend more time in school than homes. So, it is better for parents to be monitoring their children as they progress in their academics to know how they are faring on. Even though we install CCTV cameras, they may not be completely effective to curb all the criminal cases that occur in our institutions.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. From the outset, I want to say that I support the decision of the Committee. From the resolutions of the Committee as stated by the Chair of the Committee, I believe the due process has been followed in nominating, vetting and presenting these names to this august House. The President was within his powers as per the Constitution, to pick these Kenyans to be vetted by Parliament. Therefore, I do not see any reason why one would say that there is any doubt in ...

There is a notion in this House - which I am serving for my second term - where if somebody is not picked from our region or not our choice, we feel that the due process was not followed, the face of Kenya has not been realised or our person of interest was omitted. I agree with the Committee in that these persons who were vetted here are duly qualified. Secondly, the gender aspect and the national outlook were also looked into. We only have three slots and Kenya is very big.

Looking at the individuals, I do not know much about the second officer, but I appreciate that he is deaf and he is representing the disabled fraternity. I believe he will add value to this Commission. Hon. Florence Kajuju is a former Member of this Parliament. She was the Woman Representative for Meru County. When she was in this Parliament, she did an exemplary job. She was the Chair of the Regional Integration Committee, which I was a Member. She was also a Member of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee and a Member of The electronic version of the ...

the House Business Committee (HBC) and she was very thorough in her work. She was also the Chair of the Ad hoc Committee on Miraa which worked tirelessly to make miraa a scheduled crop. Today, the Meru people are enjoying the fruits of her labour and the fruits of her struggle to make miraa a cash crop. Therefore, she is quite ambitious, innovative and somebody we can rely on.

Having been a lawyer for about 20 years and a Vice-Chair of the Law Society of Kenya, she has vast knowledge on what goes on in the legal fraternity and she is up to the task. This Commission, without belabouring, will be a bridge between the citizen and the Government agencies. This is why we need people of integrity to look at the needs of the citizens and check where Government agencies, who are supposed to serve the people, are not doing that. I urge the nominees and the Chair to look at the pensions department of this country when ...

Ms. Lucy Ndung’u, who some of us have tried to bash, was in a very hot seat. We are all politicians and we know what we go through especially during the electioneering period and when we are registering parties and clearing candidates. It is a very difficult time and you can see this lady has done her best to survive those years there. Despite those many hiccups, she did her best. If you went for service there and what you wanted did not come out correctly, that is the time you needed to condemn the officer. At the end of ...
