    "content": "In this list, at least, we expected to see six women and it is high time that the women are given high positions also to serve. I remember that after we raised the issue, we were told that there is another list that is going to come. But then we said: “We do not want deputies or to be given those small posts.” Even in this one, I expected to see more women. Since I cannot go through all the nominees, allow me to mention just a few. To start with Prof. Ongeri, he showed very high experience. It is because he is someone who has served this country. I know the issue of age came up, but then in the Public Appointment Act, it states that a candidate above 60 years can only be appointed on temporary terms or by local agreement. His nomination is temporary because, it is for only three years. I want to speak about the nominee, Ms. Lucy Chelimo who is going to Ottawa, Canada. She is 35 years old and I have to commend the President for giving young people a chance to represent us abroad. Ms. Lucy Chelimo was very eloquent. She even made our work easy. I remember for less than an hour, she had answered all the questions. It means, therefore, she had done her research very well and she knew what is expected of her and she is ready for the task ahead. I did not have any problem with her."
