    "content": "(b) One of the sitting Members of the PSC is also coming from Western Kenya in Vihiga County, and Hon. Rachel Ameso comes from Kakamega County in Western Kenya; and, (c) There are several other regions and ethnic groups in Kenya who do not have representation in the PSC. This include Upper Isiolo, Lower Eastern, Luo Nyanza, etcetera . The Committee, therefore, was of the opinion that in order to comply with Article 254 of the Constitution, the vacancy of the PSC shall be field by someone not from that region and ethnic group. Madam Temporary Speaker, finally, the qualifications for appointment as a Member of the PSC under Article 127 2(d) of the Constitution are found at Section 1(9) of the Parliamentary Service Act No. 22 of 2019. Therefore, it requires such a person to possess at least ten years’ experience in public affairs. In this case, it was found that Hon. Rachel Ameso Amollo had only five years’ experience having served as a Member of Parliament (MP)."
