    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was just listening to the Minister reading out the list of compliance, whether it is gender or various qualifications. I had asked this earlier: Would I be in order to ask the Minister to just amplify a little further whether these appointments do fulfill the requirement of Article 232 of the Constitution, which sets values and principles of public service? This is in the public services. Among the values of public service, just to refresh the Minister’s mind, is representation of Kenyan’s diverse communities and affording adequate and equal opportunities for appointment, training and advancement at all levels of the public service of men and women, the members of all ethnic groups and persons with disabilities. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, would I be in order to request the Minister to explain to this House how far these 47 appointments meet these requirements of values and principles of public service, especially with regard to representation of the face of Kenya, which, in terms of regional balancing, is a constitutional principle? Could you go over that list and confirm to this House whether those 47 people do represent the face of Kenya and meet the requirement of ethnic, regional balancing and diversity of Kenyan communities? Am I in order to ask the Minister to do that?"
