    "content": "were critical issues that were beyond the Committee. On the two third gender rule, you realize that women are less. It is our humble request to the appointing authority that next time when it comes to the issue of gender as outlined in Article 27(8) of the Constitution, the aspect of gender should be taken into consideration. It is unfortunate that we are seeing two women exit and one woman being brought on board. We are seeing Ann Waiguru and Charity Ngilu exit and only Sicily Kariuki coming in. It is important that the law of the two-thirds gender must be respected. As we move on in terms of the criteria, when you look at Article 232 of the Constitution, the issues of regional balancing was lacking as far as these appointments are concerned. It is important that as we move on, the appointing authority should look into those two critical aspects. However, in terms of the suitability, I have no doubts that all the seven nominees are qualified. We are calling upon this House to approve them. With those few remarks I second."
