    "content": " It is a game of gentlemen played by the rich. Thank you. I rise to second the nominees. We vetted the nominees as the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, led by our Chairman, Hon. Kabinga Wathayo. The name “Wathayo” means peace and since he came to our Committee, we have been having peaceful interactions including the vetting. Both nominees are qualified. Their qualifications are top notch. Thomas is currently pursuing a PhD degree at the University of Nairobi. In terms of clearance, the nominees were cleared by HELB, EACC, DCI and CRB. We also considered regional balancing. Looking at the composition of the Commission, there are two commissioners in place. The addition of these two will not create any regional imbalance. Caroline Naikena Lentupuru comes from Baringo. She belongs to a minority community called the Ilchamus, which is part of the Maasai. We are very proud that we recognise even the minority tribes. The Ilchamus are the minority tribe of the Maasai who live in Baringo. They do not even have a member of a county assembly. I doubt if they even have a chief, leave alone a Member of Parliament. I know Hon. Kamket is the only one disturbing them in Baringo. In terms of cattle rustling, Hon. Kamket has really disturbed the Ilchamus. But thank God, we now have one of them sitting in a very big commission. There is also representation of persons with disabilities (PWDs). Currently, the Commission has Dr. Chomba, who is visually impaired. He is blind. He is the Vice-Chairperson 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."
