    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, I support the amendment by the Minister. Essentially, this amendment was to make sure that we do not have foreigners dominating the Kenyan process. This is because you will realise that earlier on the Bill talked about seven nominees, three of which were foreigners and four were Kenyans. We thought that, that was going to be dominated by the foreigners. The idea was to increase the number to nine. Further, we envisage that the Commission will have committees and for purposes of having as many committees as necessary, we felt that the number needed to improve. Finally, to help with diversity, we felt that the number needed to go further. In that sense, I support the amendment by the Minister that one of the members of the Kenyan citizens and one of the foreigners be of the opposite gender."
