    "content": "that the nominee hails from Siaya County. The Constitution contemplates a maximum of 22 Cabinet Secretaries whereas the country is comprised of 47 counties in terms of Article 6(1) as read with the First Schedule of the Constitution. In view of the limited number of persons who can be appointed to the Cabinet - a maximum of 22 - it is not possible to have Cabinet Secretaries who hail from all the counties in the country. Article 232(1)(i)(ii) and (iii) of the Constitution provides that the values and principles of public service include affording adequate and equal opportunities for appointment, training and advancement, at all levels of the public service, of persons with disabilities. Further, Article 54(2) of the Constitution mandates the State to ensure the progressive realisation of the principle that at least five per cent of the members of the public in elective and appointive bodies are persons with disabilities. Hon. Speaker, Article 55 of the Constitution mandates the State to take measures, including affirmative action to ensure the youth have opportunities to associate, be represented and participate in political, social and economic spheres of life. Further, Article 260 of the Constitution defines a youth as a person who has attained the age of 18 years but has not attained the age of 35 years."
