    "content": "One of the contestations was that the law as it is today, in terms of the constitution of the selection panel, is inadequate. The law provides for seven members of the selection panel. It was felt that political players who are majorly political parties and other societal interest groups including the religious sector did not have adequate representation in the selection panel. It is therefore a recommendation of the NADCO. It is contained in this amendment Bill and is a recommendation by the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs of which I am the Vice-Chairperson. It is worth increasing the number of members of the selection panel from the current seven to nine thus, political parties under the Political Parties Liaison Committee and Inter-Religious Council of Kenya can have extra membership. That way, every other Kenyan can feel that the product that emanates from that process is a product worth carrying out in the elections."
