    "content": "We do not have enough positions to ensure there is at least a commissioner from each constituency in this country. We considered counties. The President is required to appoint the chair and eight commissioners. We do not have positions for all 47 counties. We considered vaguely the issue of regions and provinces. Save for cases where we have difficulties, you look at a region and go to the shortlist of 32 names. Even if you look at the original applications you will identify some tribes, whether minority or otherwise, and note that nobody applied from some regions. We had such limitations. I can give an example; if you go to the Rift Valley Province, which I wanted to refer to--- Personally, on the day we were conducting the interviews--- I am saying this to my colleagues on the CORD side. A newspaper wrote that we were preparing ground for the former Speaker of Parliament, Hon. Kaparo, to be the chair. Of course, we discussed that issue in the morning. Let me tell you that we were balanced on this issue. The one question I personally kept putting to all the applicants--- The only person who answered it touching on integration, cohesion, the position of our country, and with the passion that I never expected would come from anybody was Hon. Kaparo. My attitude towards him changed completely."
