    "content": "I also know of Dr. Walter Owen Owour Ogony, whom I know is a very competent Kenyan. He has no issues around him in terms of integrity and therefore I expect that he will deliver to the people of Kenya and more particularly this important oversight authority that the people of Kenya are looking forward to, to ensure that we have a functioning police service. As a House what we are required to look into is, apart from the qualification in terms of academic, professional and the constitutional requirements such as the integrity, there is also the element of regional balance. On this one, the President has tried. In future we need to be looking at the regional balance, the ethnic discrimination that has been happening in terms of public appointments that those ethnic communities which are usually overlooked are also considered. I would like to see the Subas also finding themselves in such appointments as a minority community which constitutes about 0.3 per cent of this country. I would like to see other smaller communities also finding themselves into these appointments. I do not fault this list in terms of regional spread although there is the question of, if you are a lady and you are married in another region, it is bringing a lot of complications, because it is not clear where we place you.
