    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I find it very unfortunate that we can stand and discriminate against our people, oppose things just for the sake of it and waste time because others want to buy time for their personal reasons. Kenya is again going to look bad when we have followed the due process. The law says that at most three times. I am a lawyer and most of these political parties have a panel of lawyers. Why did they sit and agree and bring it to Parliament then for others to start thinking that it was wrong? That has been the interpretation. Why can they not move to court if they want that proper interpretation to be done again? The law is clear. These are the times if I was a lawyer going to court I would just be nodding without even working. The judge would just wake up and read and ask: “Why has that application been brought here while it has abided by the law? Dismissed off record.” Why is the Senate trying to entertain injustice in the name of: “It is I who decides who to go where?” I totally disagree and I do not support the recommendations and I find that the Committee went beyond their mandate, they acted ultra vires and they are subjecting innocent Kenyans who have worked--- They are going to make the youth to shy off from applying because one of their own is applying and is being subjected to all these. If they wanted to put in gender, I speak for my party the Wiper Democratic, there was no woman who applied. How and from where are you going to get a woman? Are you going to break the law? That is what would have happened. If FORD-(K) or any other political party wanted to bring in a lady they had opportunity from the word go. Why wait till when the entire exercise has been done? I beg to oppose."
