    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is quite clear that all the Members, including the Chairperson of this Commission are professionally and economically qualified. They are people of integrity, independent-minded and belong to what we would call the new Kenya. It is also a good blend. Often, we have had commissions and committees that are dominated by lawyers, but in this case, we have a broad array of professionals; from lawyers to political scientists to even national scientists. But I would also like to say that even as we talk about these people not having political ambitions, maybe this is one good example of why we are having problems with the Interim Independent Boundaries Review Commission (IIBRC). Sometimes we have to be very careful with the kind of people we select in terms of their political connections. This is a good example and I believe, therefore, that some of the problems we have been going through with regard to boundaries are going to be a thing of the past because these are all people who have not expressed political interest and cannot be said to be affiliated to any political party. Mr. Speaker, Sir, most of them are the face of Kenya, except the point that Dr. Khalwale made, and I would like to emphasize it. I think it is important that if we are selecting a team that is going to implement the Constitution for this country, that it represents the face of Kenya. Looking at that list, I found that four of the Members are from Nyanza."
