“While she exhibited honesty, she clearly lacked the relevant experience to drive the ministry. She did not articulate herself well or elaborate what she wants to do for the youth of this county,” said Mr Kirui. Nyangores ward representative Andrew Maritim, who seconded the motion, said Kirui did not exhibit any problem-solving abilities. Mr Maritim, who is also the leader of minority, said the nominee did not show an understanding of the department she was being picked to head. “Mr Speaker, what we are presenting before this house is actually what we saw and heard from the nominee during vetting. It is not a witch-hunt and the executive should take the move positively,” said Maritim. An attempt by Kipreres MCA Philip Korir to amend the motion failed as he did did not get secondment.SEE ALSO :MCAs want Speaker investigated over vandalism in her office
“It cannot be that all the three nominees have failed to meet the requirements. This assembly has turned into a house of witch-hunts,” said Mr Korir, adding that the rejection had denied residents adequate representation.
