    "content": " Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, not really of being bruised. We are rarely bruised. We are told long time ago, the chicken used to eat the mongoose and the assumption was that the chicken had teeth. So, what happened is that, one cockerel was late and that he was not there when the decision was made that when they go to the meeting, they should not laugh. So, since it was not there, it ended up crowing. When it crowed. the mongoose discovered that the chicken did not have teeth; that is how the reverse happened. I stood a big risk of doing the wrong thing. However, what Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has said in the pretext of providing information has confirmed that, what the Senate Minority Leader and the opposition is trying to do, is to mislead the people of Kenya that by getting a list of either seven Kenyans of a particular Board, then there is diversity. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Constitution and the law - for purposes of record - is clear that the issue of national diversity should be looked at in the context of an entire organisation or arm of government. It does not say every time you release two names, then national diversity would be there. How do you make sure the face is reflected in two names? Therefore, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, is the Senate Minority Leader in order to be assisted by the Senator for Kakamega to mislead Kenyans that by isolating one committee, you can prove that the face of Kenya has not been adhered to? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you have already directed that evidence be provided and this is important because we are also Kenyans. We will want the right thing done by the Government because governments come and go but the country remains. The issue of The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
