David ole Sankok; 13. Mr. Sheikh Yasser Ali; 14. Hon. Tomitom Lilian Cheptoo; and 15. Ms. Anne Too Cherono. Hon. Temporary Speaker, those were the 15 names presented to the presiding officers and later presented to the Joint Committee. May I state to this House that the Joint Committee is not indicating that these are the candidates who have been elected. I am only indicating the next step after the nomination. Therefore, these are the candidates nominated awaiting election on Thursday at 10.00 a.m. as it shall be communicated by the Speaker. The next category is Azimio la Umoja - One Kenya Coalition. The coalition has four slots. According to Rule 4, they were multiplied by three. Therefore, we have 12 candidates nominated. Members of this House and the Senate should elect four out of the 12 members. They will consider gender, different opinion shades and special interest groups. The 12 nominated persons are as follows: 1. Hon. Ali Fatuma Gedi; 2. Hon. Bosire Timothy Moseti E’; 3. Hon. Diriye Abdullahi Mohammed; 4. Hon. Kalonzo Kennedy Musyoka; 5. Hon. Kega James Mathenge Kanini; 6. Hon. Kioni Jeremiah Ngayu; 7. Hon. Mugali Justus Kizito; 8. Hon. Mutua Winfred Syonind; 9. Ms. Nakusa Beatrcie Askul; 10. Hon. Ndeti Hellen Mueni; 11. Ms. Odinga Winnie Irmgard; and 12. Hon. Shahbal Suleiman Said. The above are the nominees that we expect Hon. Members to come and elect on Thursday at 10.00 a.m. Hon. Temporary Speaker, as I conclude, may I request all Members with humility to come and vote. Let us not have Members engaged in different engagements. I know there is vetting of Principal Secretaries, but I am sure the clerks will provide the names in whichever order they will choose and Members will know the time they will be voting. So, I request all Members to be present and that is why the Motion of the Special Sitting has been presented today so that we have proper planning. Voting will be done the day after tomorrow. I reiterate that this Committee has not elected these members, but rather, it has indicated the next cause of action, which is election. As I summarise, I request Members to look out for members who would be of great help to this country and who will raise our flag very high. We should elect people who will be trusted to take the East African Legislative Assembly farther in the next five years. In its work, the Committee made some recommendations because we observed several issues in the whole process. For instance, the Committee feels that the rules are okay, the timeframe is okay, but there is need to revisit and enhance the rules more in the future.
