    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have tabled it. The Permanent Secretary had also written a letter to me saying that he was not going to support that appointment. It is in one of these files and I will table it. But Section 5 which was referred to by Ms. Karua seeking to know on whose advice I made the appointment, there is actually the last bit which was on 6th of October, when the Council last met – I have tabled those minutes – they actually said that it would be ridiculous on their part to change their mind or to rewrite again and again, and say that the Minister could choose any of those persons from those five. On the basis of that, the Chairman said that he was not willing to write any other letter. On that basis, I decided that the Council cannot reach unanimity; eight of them were in agreement while the other five were not in agreement. Two of them were actually neutral because they are Government officers. Now, a majority of Council Members, of course, in their letter and in their ad hoc Report confirmed that I could choose any one of those five. I have already given a gazette notice as required by law detailing the appointment which the Minister has made. I have also written a letter of appointment informing Mr. Kipketer of the same appointment and of the same Legal Notice. It is up to the Permanent Secretary and the Board to do the rest."
