    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Motion. First, I really commend the Joint Parliamentary Select Committee that worked very hard under very short timelines and gave us a good report. Having gone through it, I see from the membership that at least we have quite a bit of what we would expect from the representation so that it is quite representative of our country Kenya, be it geographic, gender and age. On the face of it, everything appears very well done. However, I also join my colleagues in wishing that in getting this report, we would have gotten the resumes of the candidates that we will be voting for so that as we send them to that important House, the EALA, we look at their experience, qualifications and match them, based on the work that we will be expecting them to carry out at the EALA. Having said that, I am sure the Committee did a very intensive and thorough job. I also hope that as we come here on Thursday next week to vote, we shall send the right delegation from Kenya to the EALA. I would have wished to see one Member at least from Nakuru County. However, I am also cognizant of the fact that we have 47 counties in this republic and there are only so many slots available. Having seen this, I know we are even going to shorten them a lot more to just about nine Members. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
