    "content": "As I have said, at first, we had 29 names. We looked at the record of individual candidates in the public service in term of continuity, institutional memory, gender balance, regional balance, social diversity and other added advantages. At that time, we picked Abubakar Zein Abubakar, Hon. Judith Ramaita Pareno, Nancy Lungahi Abisai and Mumbi Ng’aru. We went further and interrogated those names and we ended up with three names, namely, Hon. Judith Ramaita Pareno, Hon. Abubakar Zein Abubakar and Mr. Ronald Kipng’eno arap Ng’eny. Those are the names which were submitted. The Wiper Democratic Movement, on its part, equally did a similar exercise and submitted the names of their candidates. We have no problem with that. It is in that regard that we as a party find it an unacceptable proposal by the Committee that we should submit further names apart from the four names that our coalition has submitted. I wish to request that the amendment I am seeking be approved by the House. We should move to the elections as slotted without any further ado. I am aware of what has happened. I ask Hon. Maanzo to second."
