"content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand here to oppose this amendment because I think it would be a disaster if it was passed. It would be conveying a very bad message to the country. I happen to know that lady. I have met her on several occasions. She is a very highly qualified person. She is a PhD holder. It is prejudicial and, indeed, very wrong to assume that she comes from Nyanza. I am aware that she comes from Nairobi. She is a resident of Nairobi. The mere fact that somebody thinks she comes from Nyanza is so unfortunate. I do not think we should bring this House to a level where we start thinking about ethnicity and all that. We are talking about merit and qualification in this particular case. This amendment should be opposed and I oppose it very strongly."
