    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I have a reservation. When we are talking about the huge wage bill that this country is grappling with and we still constitute commissions that have eight or nine members, I think we are not reading from the same script. I have an issue. While I have no big problem with Francis ole Kaparo, he is a man I respect. He has been a speaker for the last over 15 years. He has been a Minister before I was born and we are talking of empowering the young people yet when I look at the age of this man, I feel like we are not giving opportunities to upcoming people. I have no problem with ole Kaparo. I am very sure and I know that most hon. Members are keenly rooting for ole Kaparo to chair. I want to urge the President that if ole Kaparo is picked among the nine, then we need to look and support that ole Kaparo can deputize a woman. For once, we can look at the list and say: “Let us have a Commission that has woman as the chairperson.” If you look at this country, we only have Sarah Serem of all the commissions we have in this country. So, it is only prudent that we have ole Kaparo becoming a deputy of a woman from this list of eight."
