• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, if you followed my statement very clearly, I have stated that there was a general attack on the Committee which came from different corners. At some point, there was a general feeling on the part of the public, but it was very unfortunate that the Members of this House were involved. I will not dwell on names. There were so many interferences, including from the Members of the Committee. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: I just want to put it on record that we followed the law. The law requires that we have a meeting, interview the nominee, come up with a report and table it in the House, and then it is moved as a Motion. I am moving the Motion now and then the House will decide whether to approve or reject the nominee. There were several attempts in the media to interfere with the work of the Committee. Several people wanted the Committee to have a predetermined approval. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: I want to go to the Report. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to allay any kind of fears that there was interference from a senior person. There was a general feeling in the public. You are aware that the public believed that this House had already approved Dr. Chumo. I want to state very clearly that we are following the law. There was no approval without the approval of this House. It was predetermined that this particular candidate was already approved. I want to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard ... view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: allay the fears, so that the public will know that this House follows the law. There is no way Dr. Chumo can be approved without passing the process which we are undergoing now. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: I want to go straight to the Report. Dr. Chumo appeared before us on Monday. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: His name is almost similar to mine even in terms of the number of letters. Therefore, Members feel as if I am talking about Hon. Limo and not Dr. Chumo. This is Dr. Chumo. I am not a doctor. Therefore, I am very different from Dr. Chumo. His nomination was presented to this House by His Excellency the President. This name was subsequently forwarded to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. He appeared before our Committee on Monday, 23rd July 2018. We interviewed him. This nominee is a Kenyan citizen. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Dr. Chumo is a Kenyan citizen who was born in 1956 in Uasin Gishu. He is a member of the Institute of Human Resource Management. He holds Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Human Resource Management. He has worked in Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) for over 30 years. He was in the Human Resource Department most of the time.

He was cleared by Kenya ... view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to bring to your attention that as soon as the President forwarded the name of the nominee to this House, a question on integrity of the candidate arose. He was arrested by security organs and was charged in court. Therefore, on that particular issue, we found that he does not qualify in terms of the requirements of Chapter Six of the Constitution, which touches on leadership and integrity. Other than that, he had never been dismissed in any public office in contravention of provisions of Article 75 of the Constitution. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Before I conclude, on the issue of being arrested and charged in court, you will find the explanation he gave us in the Report. Let me touch on it a bit. His arrest was the source of all the attacks. Some of us do not know Dr. Chumo. I have never dealt with him before. But on the issue of being arrested, there was a lot of bashing, including from our Members. I remember before we went on recess, we had an Adjournment Motion here where we talked about members of the public and Members of this House being arrested ... view
