    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will be very brief because I will speak in the next Motion. I wish to support the Motion on Consideration of Nominee for Appointment to the Office of a Member of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission. I do not know this lady. However, I have listened to the Members who have spoken who know her. She has the right qualifications. As women, we laud this move by the Government to appoint women. We want more women to be appointed by the Government. She has the requirements that are needed. I have listened to Hon. J. K who knows her and her character is quite admirable. We hope that she will meet our expectations. However, we really urge the Government to do regional balancing when appointing people. We are suffocated with the same kind of names every time appointments are made. I do not remember vetting or even discussing any appointment from Turkana County or other pastoralists’ regions for the last four years. The last person we vetted was the Cabinet Secretary, Hon. Munyes, and that was it. We go to school. We need to do something about regional balance."
