Environment, Climate Change and Forestry CS nominee Aden Duale has said that he is ready to serve in his new capacity if approved by the National Assembly.
Speaking on Friday when he appeared before the Committee on Appointments for vetting, Duale said his academic qualification and experience in public service and private business make him the right candidate for the job.
"My academic qualifications, my experience as a Member of Parliament and as a leader in this country, the stint I had in the Ministry of Defence, my age, my role in private sector and business gives me the required testimonial," he said.
Duale went on to say he also has had a clean record over the years.
He noted that he has at no point gone against Chapter Six and Article 75 of the Constitution of Kenya.
He added he has also not been indicted by any parliamentary report before and because of this, he is fit for the job.
"I have never been indicted in any report of Parliament, I have always had clearance from the criminal justice system, the EACC and DCI, I have never violated Chapter Six of the Constitution and Article 75 of the Constitution and I think I'm ready and willing to serve the people of Kenya," Duale said.
Duale was the second nominee to appear for vetting on Friday, after Andrew Karanja.
Karanja is the CS nominee for Agriculture.
In the previous Cabinet, Duale served in the Ministry of Defence.
On Thursday, the first batch of five nominees were vetted by the Committee on Appointments.
