    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. There is a mood in the House and it is coming out clearly that this Report needs to be either amended or sent back to the Committee. We are recruiting on behalf of county governments and if I was doing that, I would look for someone who understands devolution, counties and how they operate. I would look for someone who understands Parliament and particularly the role of the Senate in protecting the interests of counties. I would look for someone who understands the challenges that the SRC has gone through in the last six years and how that affected them. I would look for someone who complies with Chapter Six of the Constitution on Leadership and Integrity, and with the right academic qualifications and then I will look for experience. On page 21 of 26, number one is Sen. Isaac Melly, then when you go back to page 7 of 76, the name of Sen. Isaac Melly is missing. You wonder whether it was electronic or manual transmission. On one hand, Sen. Melly is number one and on the other hand, Sen. Melly has disappeared. We must ask this question on behalf of the youth of Kenya. If you look at all the young people in their thirties in that list, the Committee has said that they do not have relevant experience or ten years’ experience. We must also question this thing of experience, what does it mean? We have people who have been in the same position for forty years, doing the same thing day in, day out. Is that the kind of experience that we need? Does experience only mean when you are employed? What about the millions of young men and women who we have failed to get jobs for many years? When will they ever be able to get that experience? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
