First and foremost, I would like to thank all Members who contributed including those who opposed like hon. Mwaura. I just want to correct the wrong assertion that may have been made by hon. Mwaura that the law provides that a person with disability shall be appointed notwithstanding the provisions of the law. That is not what the law says. You must comply with the law in appointing such a person. It is unfortunate that Mr. Eric Ogwang, our good friend, passed on last year. We had recommended, as a Committee, for his appointment last year but he has since died. The recommendation of the Committee is for a new selection panel to be appointed so that Mr. Kabue be subjected to due process and be appointed in accordance with the law. I wish to thank all the Members and I move."}
