"content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, on the subject of the individual being discussed here, if today you start saying somebody is not professionally qualified, the Cabinet Secretary for Defence is a military officer, the Cabinet Secretary for Health is a medical doctor, the Cabinet Secretary for Lands is a land commissioner, what do you mean? We want to give opportunity to individuals to make a difference in the Republic of Kenya. Particularly look at this listing, there is a member who was sitting in the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), Horticultural Crops Development Authority (HCDA), K-Rep Bank, has been a board member and director of Standard Chartered Bank. If you interrogate where people are coming from, I think it is you as Kenyans who passed the Constitution and you said you wanted to create opportunity. For women and now you have 47 of them coming on a platform of affirmative action within counties, they should ask themselves: Must we have had these rules like issues of arrogance about certain nominees and issues of integrity about certain nominees even if those Committeesâ reports in previous parliaments were defeated? However, I said that if anyone is living in a glass house, and by a glass house I mean if you have not been subjected to a court process then no one should say you are guilty in any way."
