    "content": " Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, Cabinet Secretaries are not nominated. They are appointed because they are qualified to occupy those offices. You are still not addressing the issues that are being raised. Your clarification is now implying that we go back to the former system where the Committee of Experts found it necessary to have representatives of these specific clusters of people because over the years, there was a vacuum of representation. Therefore, for example, when persons with disabilities were included through a provision in the Constitution, it is because it was felt that over the years they were not adequately represented by those who are not living with disability on matters of legislation. This is the matter that Sen. Njoroge is raising. Sen. Lesuuda has also aptly put the issue of representation of women after a lot of interrogation. You need to address that issue because we are live and this will go into the HANSARD. What are the facts that you are presenting to the Senate to expound on that matter that we need to scrap it? What is your alternative mode of representing these two categories of people?"
