    "content": "When the names came to this House, the first name that was read was that of the gentleman who was number seven followed by the gentleman who was number four and then the gentleman who was number five. That was the list that was forwarded to Parliament. The concern that I had then was that this is the Ministry of Education where we believe that meritocracy comes number one. Unfortunately, we did not get clear indications on the same on why the number one was dropped. Two, if this had to do with regional balancing, then unfortunately, again the wider Rift Valley region will miss out being among the eight commissioners who will be serving in the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) up to June this year. The third point is that I wondered whether there was allergy for the women in this Commission because the number one for the Chair was rejected. The number two among the Commissioners was also rejected; both of them being ladies. I just wanted to make that clarification so that we understand, as House, why for the first time the Chairman dissented on a principle that is not very clear. However, having said that, we interviewed the members."
