"content": "The Committee noted that all the nominees met the statutory requirements, academic qualifications, professional experience, and all the requirements under the Act. The nominees also demonstrated deep understanding of issues to do with the PBODT, including conflict resolution mechanisms they will employ in their roles on the Tribunal. I was excited by these appointments because we always fight for the two-thirds gender rule for every appointment in this country. However, we are celebrating today because the Tribunal has three women out of the five nominees. Women are the majority. I also congratulate the Chief Justice who has done justice to our ladies in this country. Secondly, the youth issue has also been covered very well. Three out of five members fall under the Gen Z and Millennial brackets. I also want to congratulate them for considering the Gen Zs in their appointment. Gen Zs are not only on the streets, but we have serious Gen Zs who are taking part in crucial matters of this country. An example is Ms Christabel Eboso, who did so well in the interview until we did not even get a chance to ask her more questions in the vetting process. I congratulate her on that, and all the nominees who have made it to this list. As I second, I urge the House to consider these members. Congratulations to the Committee and the good work they have done. I second. Thank you."

"content": " Yes, that is the correct pronunciation. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. From the outset, I fully support this Motion on the appointment of these very diligent Kenyans to this tribunal. I confirm that I am a member of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs under the leadership of Hon. Murugara, who led us in doing this very important assignment. What excites me in this Report and its findings is that the members of this tribunal are very well educated. Apart from that, we have two very young members in this tribunal who demonstrated ability in the responsibility that they are just about to assume. We have had very many tribunals, commissions and assignments in this country that have only been given to the very senior citizens in this country. However now, seeing very young people being given opportunities to work in this high-level tribunal inspires confidence in the young people of this country. It gives them confidence that indeed, there are opportunities for them when they get the training and education that is needed of them. These members are coming from different regions in this Republic. This means that there is fair distribution of opportunities. I believe that this is the way to go, even with the opportunities to come. I therefore support."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for this opportunity. First, I identify myself with the findings of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs on their assessment and the subsequent presentation of the nominees. Tribunals play a very great role, especially when there are issues related to disputes. The Public Benefit Organisations (PBOs) are what used to be called Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs). These organisations are both local and international. They engage themselves in various activities, like education and health. They are also involved in public awareness in various parts of this country. In many cases, they are required to adhere to the legal status of the country. We used to hear a lot of complaints and tug of wars between NGOs and the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": "government. Government requires to know where many of the NGOs are from, what they are doing, and what achievements they have gained in their areas of operation. In the process, a lot of disputes would arise. Therefore, a tribunal becomes very important, because when these disputes between the government and these NGOs arise, there must be someone to listen to them. Many of them require legal decisions to be made. We also need a lot of fairness when a dispute arises. Tribunals also provide legal experts. That is why I need to identify myself with the nominees. Are the nominees qualified to perform these responsibilities? These are lawyers of good standing, and they are people from very strong backgrounds. To me, they are able to discharge the responsibilities of a tribunal. The Committee has looked at their Curriculum Vitae, which we have also looked at. There is fairness in terms of gender sensitivity, which is a requirement in our Constitution. They have also adhered to all the required age brackets. From this perspective, the Committee has done a good job. I urge that we support the nomination and confirm them to sit in this very important tribunal. I support."
