    "content": "My two last comments on the board membership issue are related to the two-thirds gender rule. We need a nominee of the National Gender and Equity Commission being given a chance to nominate somebody to give a gender and women’s perspective on these issues. This is because they are normally marginalized. Most importantly is one young person to be nominated by the National Youth Council or another body. This is because when you think about young people in places like my constituency Kibra, being held for petty offences whether it is drunkenness or use of drugs it is common and they need legal representation. The board is oriented in its focus on other things and you will find that the interests of the youth and their legal rights will not really be held in the policy priorities of this board. So, I wanted to mention that."
