    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I request for a brief Ministerial Statement from the Minister in the Office of the President in charge of Provincial Administration. I would like to request the Minister to issue a Ministerial Statement on the recent appointments of the 47 County Commissioners. In issuing this Ministerial Statement, I would require the following clarifications from him. 1. Whether the appointments complied with the one-third gender constitutional principle. 2. Whether those appointments considered marginalised groups and in particular whether any of those appointed, these being 47 appointments, come from the Tana River County. 3. Whether the basis of the law upon which these appointments were made was taken into consideration. 4. Whether he is aware that a Bill for the restructuring of the Provincial Administration was supposed to be tabled and debated in this House and when he will bring this Bill. 5. Whether the ethnic and regional balance principles as envisioned in the Constitution were adhered to. 6. Under which criteria the appointments were carried out and whether there was merit as we know it under the Public Service Commission (PSC). If there was any criteria, whether the Minister could table the said criteria before the House. 7. Whether there were, in fact, any consultations between the Office of the President and the Office of the Prime Minister and if there was, whether he can table proof of that consultation. 8. Whether in the course of these appointments, these being senior positions, there was vetting of these appointees before they were raised. 9. Whether the Minister can approach the appointing authority with a view to suspending these appointments until the issues that have been raised are resolved."
