    "content": "I thank the President for once for upholding inclusivity and ensuring there is the face of Kenya in the constitution of this Commission even in as much as there was constraint in terms of numbers. For once, we have a Commission in which more ladies or members of the female gender are proposed to serve. It is two against one. For once, we also have a Commission which even though is limited to three in number we have a person living with disability sitting there. The person confirmed during vetting that, indeed, there is no person with disability but we have people who are able in different ways. These are very sharp and patriotic Kenyans who would serve. On the requirements of regional balance, gender and integration to the possible extend have been met in these nominations. The Report also confirms that the integrity of all these nominees is not under challenge either before a court of law or before anybody charged to investigate and ensure that ethical standards in persons holding public offices are upheld. Indeed, I know two of these nominees at personal and official levels. I do not know the nominee, Opiyo, but I know Hon. Florence Kajuju, the nominee for the Chair of the Commission. This is a lady who served the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) with distinction and even before her election to this Parliament was honoured by that great society of lawyers in the country, not only to serve in the council of LSK but also serve as the Vice-President of that great society."
