    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Constitution is very clear on gender balance in public appointments. Out of the ten persons nominated for appointment, Barassa is coming in to fill the gender requirement. This wonderful lady might have made mistakes in terms of attitude but people change. Wherever she is, she must be listening. Looking at the composition of the commission, from the North Eastern region, we have two representatives. From Nyanza region, we have two representatives. From Western region, she is the only lady in this team, and she qualifies for the job. So, I rise to support her. Whatever mistakes there may be, we need to be given a performance appraisal report indicating where she went wrong as the Chairperson of the CDF Board. We cannot entertain the accusations being levelled against her because of personal interests. Indeed, we, in this House, are not lazy, neither are we greedy. If she made such remarks, maybe, she did so because of her personal issues with hon. Abass. Therefore, I urge the hon. Members who are here, and especially those from western region to support the nomination of that lady. If at all we are going to withdraw her name, the next opportunity should go back to the Western region. With those remarks, I beg to support the Motion."
