    "content": "First, I oppose very strongly the amendment proposed by Hon. Chepkong’a. The reason why there are designated institutions under sub-clause (f), which are to nominate members to the Board, is because those institutions have certain expertise and technical knowhow that they will bring to the Board of that very critical institution. I read mischief in the blanket provision proposing that the CS be given the latitude to nominate. That is what will perpetuate tribalism and nepotism, which we have seen is very rampant in this regime. Therefore, I oppose in totality this amendment. In fact, if Hon. Chepkong’a was sincere and he wanted to bring in the members of the public who do not belong to those institutions, he would have, perhaps, proposed an additional clause, say sub-clause (e), to give room for nominees from the general public in addition to those institutions. Therefore, with those very few words, I oppose."
