    "content": "First of all, as a House, we need to contribute towards the background of each candidate. Whatever has been contributed so far on this Report on the Floor of the House has been documented in the HANSARD in terms of what each one of us has said about this Report. It has been mentioned that we should be giving opportunities to women, youth and persons with disabilities. Our country harbours 42 plus one tribes. The Jubilee Government has tried in appointing women and people with disabilities to public offices. There is no doubt about that. We should commend the Government for that. As we approach a very tense year towards the elections, we have to ask ourselves whether we are getting the right people in place prior to 2017. Will we be confident enough that while we are busy out there campaigning, we have the right people in public offices to hold our country together? Are we making the right decisions? That is how we need to make our appointments and move forward. In brief, Africa is a very unique case study because it is the jewel of the world. It has always been and will always be and that is why we have unique problems. Unique problems need unique people and those are the people we require to run our Government. Those are the people we need on boards such as the CBK Board of Directors. I support."
