    "content": "I am withdrawing part (a).Then, I plead that we incorporate that particular amendment from the Committee. The second part of the amendment is deleting the whole of sub-clause 5 and substituting therefor the following new sub-clause;- “In nominating and appointing persons as members of the Board, the nominating authorities and the Cabinet Secretary shall have regard to the principles of nondiscrimination on the basis of gender, disability, youth and marginalized persons under the Constitution”. Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, when we debated in this House, there were feelings that in terms of the constitution of the Board, that these specific groups had been left out. I remember that Sen. Omondi was very specific that we need to be more inclusive. This tries to expand the Board so that we are more inclusive. However, even as I move this amendment, I also wish to add that now at the end of that sentence, we shall have “and the requirements of Chapter Six of the Constitution”. This amendment came from the Committee and I felt that it is important to also have aspects of Chapter Six in terms of leadership and requirements of leadership be incorporated in the members who will be part of that particular board. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir,"
