"content": "Hon. Speaker, I am making reference to the ranking according to the interview. The fact is that number three, according to the interview list, Dr. Paul Okwach, who scored 83.4 per cent, could not secure the job. It is simply because he is male. Unfortunately for him, somebody who was ranked number 21 in the name of Beatrice Marembo Adu has to get the job just because she is female. I believe it is not fair to use gender to deny qualified candidates. It is never fair to use gender to get jobs undeservedly. I believe that according to the interview, Dr. Paul Okwach did well. It is unfair that he is denied the job and somebody ranked so low at position number 21 is given the job. I believe that in as much as the gender rule must be upheld constitutionally, it should come with some merit and qualification. It is not about blindly following gender and denying Kenyans, be they male or female, jobs. We should not just go for the gender rule. With those few remarks I beg to support. Thank you."
