    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Probably, I need to draw the attention of the House to the provisions of the Constitution. In its preamble it is specific. If I may read partly as: “RECOGNISING the aspirations of all Kenyans for a government based on the essential values of human rights, equality, freedom, democracy, social justice and the rule of law: PROUD of our ethnic, cultural and religious diversity and determined to live in peace and unity as one indivisible sovereign nation…” Section 15(2) of the National Government Constituency Development Fund Act is very specific. It is contained in this Report and it reads as follows: “ln nominating or approving the appointment of a person as a member of the board under sub-section (1), the Cabinet Secretary and the National Assembly shall take into account gender equity and the regional diversities of the people of Kenya.” You need to add me more time. My time has been taken by points of order. So, the point I am trying to prosecute is that the list so far presented, whereas it is necessary to enable us proceed to the next level, it does not meet the requirements of the Constitution and the provisions of the appointing Act. On that account, I oppose the nominees as presented on the Floor of the House. Thank you."
