"content": "straightforward issue. You know, this selection panel is our baby. It is a creation of a process that this House was very deeply involved in, the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) process. We created this selection panel, which suffered many challenges in its setup. Some of which the Senator for Nairobi City County, my good friend, spoke about yesterday at a press conference. I watched him somewhere explaining the difficulties we had in setting up this selection panel. Eventually, we had the selection panel. To the best of my ability, I have tried to follow what they are doing. I am impressed by the work that they are doing. They are trying their very best to get us the next IEBC. They have a very tight schedule. I have conducted interviews for public positions previously when I was in the PSC. It is a very tiresome job because Kenyans are Kenyans. Sometimes they come and they have forgotten their documents. I do not know what has happened. You ask them a very straightforward question, they give answers in all forms of shapes and shapes. However, eventually, you have to make a decision."

"content": "As per this request, it is coming to us because on the last day that they finish their interviews, they will only be left with one day to write the report and send the names to the President, the list of the nominees for him to select. If my memory serves me right, three names for the chairperson, so that the president can select one, and nine for the members, so that he can select six out of them. To expect that this selection panel will complete its work at 5.00 p.m. and tomorrow sit down, comb through the list of interviewers, I think hundreds of them from the short list and do a report, is to push our luck too far."

Therefore, this request came to the PSC, which is a body that collates or coordinates for the nominating institutions. When, for example, the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) sent their nominee, they sent it to the PSC. When we have an inter-religious council, they have two nominees in that panel, they sent it to the PSC. We have this other one for accountants, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK), which sent their nominees too."

Sometimes we may not agree with the National Assembly on many things and I have said all those things here on this Floor. However, it is also important to understand that he has another role. Also, in that PSC, there are six Senators. The Vice-Chairperson of Speaker Moses Wetangula is none other than Sen. Joyce Korir, who is seated here. If, by the way, for whatever reason, that letter came in and it was urgent and it needed to be attended to, the person who would have processed that letter is a Senator who sits in this House with us."
