    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also stand in support of the Report. There is a lot of consultation going around, which is healthy. Let those people who are interested in representing our Republic in EALA lobby, canvass and caucus. There is no formula for doing it. People will canvass in the best way that they know how to. At the end of the day, the thing that we must all be careful about is what Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has said; that we need to take to Arusha a team of nine Members who will represent two things: One, the face of this country and the competence levels of representation of this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is not to say that the youth should not get an opportunity. They must get an opportunity. It will be remembered that at some point all of us were first-time Senators or Members of the National Assembly. We cannot say that one of the criteria for electing people to EALA should be people who have previously served in a Parliament. If people are competent enough, they lobby, canvass and caucus enough, let the best team go to represent Kenya in Arusha. I thank you."
