    "content": "Hon. Speaker, with regard to the Selection Panel, we are proposing that two persons shall be nominated, being one man and one woman, by the Majority Party or coalition of parties in the National Assembly. Secondly, two persons, being one man and one woman, be nominated by the Minority Party or parties composing that coalition. Finally, three persons shall be nominated by the President from a panel of persons that have been advertised by the Public Service Commission and recommended to the President and those three persons be brought to the National Assembly for approval. Eventually, the three persons would still end up being approved by the National Assembly. It would be open. The reason we said so is because we recognised that it is not only the duty and responsibility of political parties to nominate people to the Selection Panel. We wanted to open it up. So, one of the considerations we are proposing for consideration in nominating the three persons is that they must represent either workers’ umbrella organisation and employers’ umbrella organisation composed of a person from the Civil Society body. We wanted all Kenyans to be involved in the Selection of the IEBC commissioners."
