    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is why I have been thinking about this. I believe in the same manner that we agreed in the formulation of CRA, where one side of the Coalition was given a number of promises and I believe they were five or so and the other side of the Coalition was given four and then there were discussions between the Whips of the House so that the gender balance is achieved. There were discussions between representatives of political parties and then the names were brought to this House. Discussions were made through the Finance, Planning and Trade Committee and when we came here, the only issue that was at stake was just one name. The other names were all agreed on. We passed them despite the fact that we have two different Coalition partners in the House. If we can have a simplified method, I believe with all my heart that we will not let down the Kenyan people. If we have disagreements or discussions, the lobbying that must go on, must go on in the back room of this House. Members of Parliament, political parties and Whips must go behind there. But we must not bring these things to this House and start voting and create a situation which we cannot defend."
