    "content": "their concerns. The Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) raised their concerns and above all the Minister for Education raised his concerns on how these names were realized. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are not saying that Mr. Kiragu, Mr. Abdullahi, Mr Fredrick Ochieng and James Kahindi Ziro are not qualified. I want to go on record that come June this year when the replacement of the five TSC Commissioners will be done, Kenyans who have been left out must be considered. We are concerned that the Committee of Parliament in its wisdom has recommended that these names be approved in Parliament. I wish the issues that were raised were considered so that we make sure that it is all inclusive; that anything that we do in this country should have public participation and stakeholders’ participation. I am sure the coming up with three commissioners and one chairman with a score card which has been put here contradicts why these names were selected. We are saying that we have five more vacancies left. The Ministry of Education should borrow a copy of the HANSARD so that for some of us who will come back to this House, when these names are brought back this year and more so under the Jubilee Government, regional balance and merit will be considered. I support and urge my colleagues that we support the Report."
