    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support the candidature and the recommendation of the Committee on this appointment. Of course, I have to raise an issue and concern about the lack of a chairman of this very important institution. I hope that this can be brought to a closure soon. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to make a rather controversial point, that is, with regard to the Committee on the Implementation of the Constitution. We serve in the Committee with the Chairman and Vice-Chairlady of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, hon. Baiya and hon. Millie Odhiambo respectively. We commissioned a report on all the senior commission appointments. I have studied that report and most unfortunately, the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs comes from Central Province while the Vice-Chairlady comes from Nyanza Province. I want to state here that we are tending towards a situation where these two communities have started to be marginalized now because they have the President and the Prime Minister. I want to urge Parliament and the Committees to be brave enough to recommend able people from those communities, because as much as they are the majority in population, they are facing a situation where they are discriminated against due to past performance. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support."
