  • That, he would find out about the status of land owned by absentee landlords and engage them if at all their leaseholds had expired. However, all this would be possible if land records are well documented. He also informed members that he would fast track the approval of the existing plans.
  • That, to enhance clean production of energy, the nominee would check the existence of energy structures, identify energy sites, map out the energy value chains and empower the community so that they would coexist peaceful with the energy resources being exploited.
  • That, the nominee was ready to take the job since he had completed his bonding period since 2005.
  • That, he considered himself to be conversant with public service management since he was working with the University of Nairobi contrary to the view of the Kilifi County Alliance memorandum.
  • That, in his capacity it will be challenging since there will be distraction as 2017 is approaching and it’s the election year. Furthermore, the tenure was almost coming to an end.
  • That, he was not interested in politics because he thought he could not make one.
  • That, the only way to aid as a CECM in charge in the Vipingo and Centum land question was to do land mapping and make land allegations factual since there were other institutions involved in the same.
  • That, Athi River factory was not using the current sophisticated technology as compared to other plants in the world in the same industry.

Finally, the nominee appreciated the warm reception by the honorable members and the staff. In conclusion, the chairperson informed the nominee that he would communicate to him once the report was done and debated on the house for adoption through the Clerk of the County Assembly.
