    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second the Motion on the appointment of Dr. Jamleck Muturi John, PhD, for appointment to the position of chairperson of the TSC and Mr. Timon Alfred Oyucho Otieno for appointment to the position of member of the TSC. The only thing I would like to emphasise that has come from the substantive presentation by the Chair is the critical role that the TSC plays and the fact that we have a CBA coming up in a few months. It will require us to have quorum which we do not have at the Commission. We have only two commissioners. I would also want to emphasise the issue of regional and ethnic diversity. We raised an issue with the TSC when we were interrogating the nominees. It was also raised to the Head of Public Service this morning. There were seven vacancies and only two were advertised. We have been informed that part of this is because there is a structure of ensuring that the commissioners’ terms expire in a staggered way so that we do not find ourselves in the situation we find ourselves in now, where we do not have quorum at the Commission. However, we are assured that currently, if the House supports this Report and passes these two nominees, we are advised that an advertisement will be coming up within the next two weeks to ensure that we also have the remaining five positions advertised. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
