    "content": " Yes, but I will not take the whole 10 minutes because I want Members to contribute. I wanted to put the caveat that as we legislate, we must not allow this positive reporting to be used negatively against people that their quota is exhausted either on the basis of gender, age or disability. People must not be turned away because their 5 per cent has already been exhausted. We are looking at each commission‘s report. So, we are going to have several reports. I urge that we get the different disaggregated reports from each of these commissions. As a House and for us to appreciate the full picture of the diversity and distribution at the national level, we will need an aggregation of all reports. There is no law that provides for this but I hope we can have a framework so that we do not make a decision based on PSC or TSC of bringing reports and Nyandarua County Assembly brings a report showing that 70 per cent of the people are from Nyandarua. But, after looking at Nakuru you can balance the different 47 reports and see them in totality. So, we will need to get an aggregated report that will help us understand how Kenyans are spread in terms of age, gender, ability and people living with disability. This is because as a country we want to ensure that even in line with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) nobody is left behind. We want to make sure that everyone is brought into the national service bringing diversity in their contribution. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if the caveats can be incorporated somehow into the future in the interpretation, I will support this Bill."
