    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I do not have a problem with the proposal by the Committee, but I have a problem with this requirement for 10 years’ experience. Why do we require 10 years’ experience for this office? I wish I could persuade the Chairperson of the Committee to reduce it to five years. Some of us happen to have started our businesses when we were young. I had only come out of the university three to four years and the person who registered my company had left the university the same year as me. The company is still running up to date. So, why is there the requirement of 10 years experience? Are we not just shutting out the youth? I would plead with the Chairperson of the Committee to reduce this to five years so that we also allow young Kenyans to qualify for this position. What is so intricate about registering businesses for which we require 10 years’ experience?"
