    "content": "I indicated that on 9th December, we invited people, through a notice published in the media, to support or raise issues, petitions or memoranda on the Bill as was published. We did receive views from a number of stakeholders, among them, the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties, the Council of Governors (CoG), the National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC), the County Assemblies Forum (CAF), and the Katiba Institute, among others. We also had various considerations, including even Kenyans of goodwill such as a gentleman by the name Mr. Eliud Malindi who also gave his support on the issues which had been raised in the Bill. We proceeded as a Committee. I am aware that later on in the afternoon, we will have a session to give a consideration of the amendments that the Committee is proposing. However, it is important to lay the foundation in this sitting of what the Committee had. It was pursuant to what my colleague, Sen. Okiya Omtatah, had filed in the Petition No. E364 of 2020 where the court gave direction or its finding to the extent that the Selection Panel as it were, was not constitutional."
