    "content": " Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the reason Sen. Omogeni was being interrupted is because he cannot speak twice on the same matter. So, with your permission – having talked to you – I would like to move an amendment. I beg to move:- THAT, the Report be adopted, subject to deleting the tables appearing at Paragraph 17 and 57 on Page 7 and 23 respectively, and substituting therefor the following table:- (1) Sen. Isaac Kipkemoi Melly, 39 years, Uasin Gishu County - 78 (2) Ms. Margaret Sawe, Nandi County - 75 Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, having listened to the contribution of Members, I am moving this amendment to give an opportunity to Sen. Melly, whom the law says, one must have qualification of at least 10 years in public management. Public management is a nebulous concept; it is anything and everything that you have been dealing with in public life. Having interacted with Sen. Melly here, he has worked in the public service since he was employed in the University of Eldoret in 2003. From there, he joined Mt. Kenya University where he worked as a Dean of Students and then, had another five grueling years of politics – a great experience that each one of us has here. Therefore, we are bringing this name so that we can adopt the Report as it is. I do not want to fault the Chairperson because they might have been confused by the second paragraph that says: “Experience in human resource”. However, there was one that says; “public management”, which is everything and anything. Secondly, one would question if this list has regional and ethnic balance. I want to put it on record, so that no one worries about it. There is only one person who will be approved from the list. Since Sen. Melly is number one, we believe he is the one who will be approved from the list that comes from the Senate. We do not have to worry that the name accompanies another person from the same region because two positions are not available; it is only one position. That is why I request my colleagues that we adopt this amendment. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, since we have the numbers and time has far much moved, I request that this amendment be seconded by Sen. Pareno."
