• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Special Motion: THAT, taking into consideration the findings of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing in its Report on the vetting of the nominee for appointment as a Principal Secretary, laid on the Table of the House on Wednesday, February 26, 2020, and pursuant to the provisions of Article 155(3)(b) of the Constitution and sections 3 and 8 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011, this House approves the appointment of Mr. Solomon Kitungu as the Principal Secretary for the State Department for Transport. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: The candidate was nominated in accordance with Article 155 (3) of the Constitution and we made that as a condition. The Constitution requires that the candidate must have been nominated on the list presented by the Public Service Commission to His Excellency the President. This Committee, therefore, confirms that the candidate was on that list. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Secondly, the nominee exhibited vast knowledge and experience having served in various capacities and as a career civil servant from 1991 with experience, especially in the investment sector. We also found out that he went to one of the best universities in the world where I was - and not the University of Nairobi - but University of Bradford in the UK. That is the best university in terms of management and peace studies. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thirdly, the nominee possesses impressive knowledge of topical issues that we asked him, one of which was restructuring of the aviation sector which we are doing as a Committee and a nation. When we put the nominee to task about those issues, he convinced us. We wanted somebody who is also convinced that this industry requires restructuring so that we can save our nation in aviation, particularly Kenya Airways. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Fourthly, in accordance to Article 78(1) (2), he is a Kenyan citizen and does not hold dual citizenship. He is fit to hold public office. This is a very important reason from my Committee. There was a problem in this House where we had approved somebody with dual citizenship. However, my Committee just wants to confirm to the House, yourself and the people of Kenya that this one has no problem. There is no collusion and so he qualifies. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: The fifth point is that his academic credentials are above board. He is well read and has many certificates among them from the University of Bradford where I was. Reason No.6 why my Committee is asking the House to approve the candidate is that he satisfies the requirements of Chapter Six of the Constitution. It is very critical that when we appoint public servants, they should meet the requirements of Chapter Six of the Constitution which Kenyans know is about integrity. This is one of the few candidates who, when his integrity was put to question, we found he has ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Reason No.10 is that he does not hold office in any political party as I said earlier. This is also a requirement by the Constitution in Article 77(2). Finally, we want to apprise the House and ask it to agree with us as a Committee that the nominee has never been dismissed from office under Article 75 of the Constitution and for contravention of the provisions of Article 75(1). Therefore, if a candidate has all these things, in fairness, there is no reason to deny that person an opportunity. view
