    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, now addressing myself to the Report - and my comments will be very few. First, I am disturbed by the contribution by my teacher of politics, Senior Counsel, Sen. Orengo. He is not happy that the Chairperson of the NPSC is going to be sitting on this commission. He is confusing me because Mr. Kavuludi was not brought there as a friend of the appointing authority. He was only brought there, because he is the Chairperson. So, if my teacher was unhappy, he should have started by recommending that we should amend Article 123 of the Act. Madam Temporary Speaker, something is disturbing me. The Act is very clear that two people should be from outside Makueni and two people should actually be residents of Makueni. The Chairperson has not made any effort to make those qualifications clear. I have seen in your report that the nearest you have come to meeting that criterion is Ms. Emily Gatuguta, where you have told us as follows:- “The committee noted that despite the nominee’s approval, she needed to be safeguarded against possible conflict of interest arising out of a strong bias demonstrated against members of the county assembly.” It further says:- “Some members of the Committee also felt that the nominee had not provided sufficient evidence that she was a resident of Makueni County.” Because of this paragraph, you will forgive Mr. Omtatah if tomorrow you see him in court saying that the commission has not been formed in accordance with the legal provisions of the County Governments Act. They will go to court. This is a paragraph which I hope in your response you will go out of the way to expound so that it becomes clear in the HANSARD. Secondly, the nearest you have gone to that is on Prof. Harrison Maithya. On page 53, you have said as follows:- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
