    "content": "Thank you very much hon. Speaker. I think what hon. F.I. Ali wanted to say was that I am secretary to the Parliamentary group of CORD. That is what I think she meant. The members of CORD ably did that a couple of weeks ago. I really thank her. I would like to rise to second this amendment. I have listened to my colleagues speak to this particular matter and I appreciate you for standing firm today to say that this is a matter that must be decided and we must conclude today. Kenya is losing on the African Continent. I think that is really firm position. Several members have raised several issues. We are a country with several diversities. The Constitution does behoove us to pay credence to regional representation. Members from the pastoralist community did raise issues. Africa, being diverse as it is, has several pastoralists. Pastoralists will sufficiently be represented in this particular Parliament in the person of hon. Shukra. Our Constitution states very well in Article 55 that marginalized communities, their issues need to be taken into consideration. This is one of the things that we must also look into. Hon. Shukra’s nomination to this Parliament will be sufficient and useful. I remember hon. Kang’ata did raise the issue of young people or the youth being represented. Article 55 of the Constitution does raise issues of youth and young people."
