    "content": "Mr. Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT Clause 13 be amended in Subclause (1) by deleting paragraphs (a) and (b) and substituting therefor the following- (a) where the vacancy is in respect of a citizens of Kenya, the person ranked next highest on the list submitted by the Parliamentary Select Committee to the National Assembly under the First Schedule; (b) where the vacancy is in respect of a non-citizen, from either of the other two names submitted by the Panel of Eminent African Personalities giving due regard to the rankings and comments of the Parliamentary Select Committee: Provided that the Parliamentary Select Committee shall ensure that the appointment of a replacement under this section shall not result in regional of a replacement under this section shall not result in regional or gender imbalance of the Committee of Experts contrary to Section 6(7). Mr. Deputy Chairman, Sir, the amendments deal with the mechanism and procedure of filling vacancies that may fall with the Committee of Experts. Essentially, the idea is to have a timely and fair process or procedure to fill vacancies without having to go back to the drawing board. Assuming the vacancy in the Committee of Experts is in respect of a citizen of Kenya, this November 4, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3243 amendment allows the Parliamentary Select Committee to appoint the next best candidate that has been proposed to the National Assembly. It also gives the National Assembly the leeway to pick the second or third candidate to ensure regional or gender equity."
