    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the nomination of these two candidates. It goes without saying that these are very experienced and learned fellow Kenyans who deserve the jobs that they have been given. Why do I say this? It is because whenever you apply for a job, you cannot say that a person will be disqualified because he is thoroughly experienced. Secondly, when we talk about regional balance, there is a misconception that we have had for a long time. It is that there is no regional balance if a Luhya, a Luo, a Kikuyu or a Kamba is not there. When you look at all these constitutional commissions, they are dominated by Luos, Kikuyus, Kambas and Luhyas – I mean all constitutional commissions. That is a fact. So, when we speak here of regional balance, I would want us to think of the Pokot, Ogieks, Tavetas, Samburus and the Turkanas whom I represent."
