They then end up having big wars with Members of Parliament. Secondly, I congratulate the nominee from my county, Hon. Dalmas Otieno, EGH. Among the people who have been listed here, he is the most qualified, having served as a Member of Parliament for a long period and having been a Minister of Public Service at one time. Nobody will understand better than him how that commission should function. Lastly, why is the Committee refusing the nomination of Madam Nelly? This lady was nominated by none other than COTU. The Committee is listening to opinions from backstage unions that we do not understand in this country. COTU has 2.5 million workers as its membership. Which other union can you listen to if you do not speak to COTU? There are only The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
