    "content": "We know this is a Commission that has a very challenging task to deal with in terms of equal opportunities for all the citizens of this country. We know that this is a Commission that must reflect the face of Kenya and ensure that it is reflected in the various appointments. However, as you can see, the Commission is already starting on a note where you are talking of eight commissioners being appointed and they will be joined by two other chairpersons, which will make it ten. Therefore, any decision by this Commission will need to be put to a vote. So, you can see that more often, we will have stalemates. This is something that the Government of President Uhuru Kenyatta needs to pay keen attention to, especially when making these kinds of appointments. If the law talks about appointing eight members, then they should not be less. There is a reason why Parliament in its wisdom in the Act created that number of positions."
