    "content": " Thank you. I was saying that I have three key reasons why I wish to oppose the approval for appointmentof this nominee. The first one is the element of age. We know very well that according to the Constitution, it is people with disabilities like my friend Hon. Sankok here who are allowed to work for the Civil Service up to the age of 65 years. Dr. Margaret Nyakang’o is, at the moment is 62 years. It, therefore, means that she is outside the ceiling of the public service age. We know very well that a public servant is supposed to retire at the age of 60. That is one reason why I oppose her nomination for appointment. We have many young people who are able and qualified for this job. By extending the service of people who are past the age of retirement, we deny young people an opportunity to serve this Government."
