"content": "Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I support Clause 5P . However, this is not an ordinary board. We must put a Clause that forces the board to recruit with regional balance in mind. The likelihood of this organization having claims from all over the country is very high. From Turkana to Nakuru County for geothermal issues, Baringo County on the ginning and manufacturing company taking away things from the lake, Tana River County on gypsum mining and the Coast, on coal mining. We want an authority that is specifically forced to recruit sensitively on regional balance. I would like us to find wording that will box this authority. There have been accusations that in some authorities’ people speak in mother tongue and exclude others. This is such an important authority that it must have a spread. It would be so bad for the Senator of Tana River County to have fought for this and then there is no single person from the county employed in the authority. It happens. I have many examples that I can give you. Authorities have been converted into tribal organizations in some places. They even speak mother tongue in some places. This authority is too important for us to leave to the board. The board must have regional balance in terms of recruitment. We must find the wording. Note the way it is. I stand guided on how to do it. Maybe we recommit it? I do not know. I submit."
