    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute. I stand to oppose this report from the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology. First and foremost is to accept the fact that I come from Murang’a County, and there is no crime at all in having an interest in any matter in this country. If there is one nominee from Murang’a County he should be accorded the opportunity to serve the country like all other nominees I believe that any report or legislation that is in contravention of the Constitution is null and void. We have a Report here. On Page 27 there is an observation by the Committee. It reads thus: “The Committee observed that the list lacked a mix of professionals with all the nominees having a background in education”. I believe that if we are going to have commission which is going to serve this country well, then it should have more members with knowledge in that field than in any other field. Where does it say in the Constitution that we cannot have people from one background in a Committee or a Commission? The last time I stood on a point of order I was addressing the Bill of Rights under Article 27 of the Constitution."
