    "content": "Thank you for that clarification, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I would like to urge the Committee to look at this Report again. I listened carefully to what Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. said. He said that none of them shared the results on how they graded the candidates. If that is the truth, then the person who should be recommended to represent us in the SRC is none other than Sen. Kipkemboi Melly. Last year or two years ago, someone who is close to me scored the highest marks in an interview, but just because he came from somewhere else --- One Tukei Olekina, scored 76 points and emerged as the top candidate, but his name was not forwarded. It is about time that this House supports merit rather than entitlement. If the second or the third person were more entitled, then they should have had merit to support it. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, where did this pervasive sense of entitlement in our nominations come from? How did it get into all our processes? We must support merit. If we are not going to discriminate Sen. Isaac Kipkemboi Melly because of his age, then by 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."
