    "content": "will realise that the commissioners we are replacing had one gentleman and four women commissioners. That issue was not raised previously. So, we were taking on the progressive approach. Now that we are seized of this matter, we want to resolve it progressively. That is why we have said that we will remedy the situation as soon as the two commissioners leave. It is just later this year. So, it is a matter that the Committee that oversees the commission is seized of. We will remedy it. Because the matter has come up, we are advising the appointing authority to ensure that this matter is remedied as we move forward. We are seized of it and it is being addressed. It is not to say that the issues raised by Hon. Otiende are invalid. They are valid. As the Leader of the Minority Party has said, today is a bad day to raise them. We had really invested in the commission we are speaking about here. Hon. Priscila Nyokabi was one of the most brilliant Members of the 11th Parliament. It would be unfortunate that this hitch comes on a day we really want to approve a really brilliant member who is going to make a difference within the Gender and Equality Commission. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. May you rule that we proceed?"
