    "content": "and transform the public service so that it becomes an institution where integrity is upheld and they will be able to do away with the corruption which has become a menace in this country. Equally, it is only unfortunate that as a Committee we noted that the list of the nominees did not meet the threshold of regional balance and ethnic diversity. We actually recommended them just because the names were presented to us by the President of the Republic of Kenya and we said that, at least, for today, we approve this list but next time, we have to put our foot down to ensure that regional balance is considered. On the same note, I have also taken much concern that there was no consideration for people with disabilities including the youth. That is why when Hon. Sankok made an attempt to walk out of the Chamber, I actually ordered him to remain behind because what I was going to say about people with disabilities was going to support them. He is here to check and be hawk eyed when we vet people so that he ensures that he shoots down a list of nominees where people with disabilities are not included, including the youth. However, because he has supported the Motion, then for today, at least I will really acknowledge and salute him, but next time he should ensure that the Constitution has been adhered to the letter. People with disabilities and youth must be included. We must have the face of Kenya so that marginalised communities also have representation in the list. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, having said that, I support the list. Thank you."
