    "content": "It is not easy for a woman from a minority ethnic group coming from a disadvantaged area to get to the final list of nine nominees nominated by His Excellency the President. She is a former Member of this august House. I represent a constituency where Hon. Tiyah comes from. I can confirm to this House that I followed the deliberations of the Departmental Committee on Lands when they were vetting all the nine nominees. I can confidently say that the issues raised against Hon. Tiyah were in relation to tax compliance. It had nothing to do with tax evasion. It was failure to file tax returns which is not a criminal offence. Once KRA discovers that you have not filed your returns, you are allowed to file them and your books of accounts are audited and assessed. The KRA has the sole authority to determine if someone is compliant or not and is issued a valid certificate of tax compliance. The nominee for Chairperson had the same issue. Probably, because he is a man, his issue was resolved in a day. As male Members of this House, we must empathise with our sisters. Most of the time, hurdles are put on their way when they are nominated to sit on boards. I move and request Hon. Martha Wangari, Member for Gilgil to second my amendment."
