"content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I deserve to be heard in silence. Kindly protect me from the Members. Regarding Benjamin Juma, I mentioned that he is a distinguished Kenyan who served in the Police Service Commission for close to 40 years. Just like our very gracious lady, Peris, throughout his 40 years of service, he demonstrated patriotism and the ability to serve with dedication and commitment. He has also virtually worked in every part of this country, including hardship areas like parts of Lamu. He convinced the Committee that, once approved by this House, he will bring the needed expertise and commitment to the National Police Service Commission, where it is needed most, more importantly, as we approach police recruitment. On the part of Prof. Collete Suda, she is a great lady who has served this country in many capacities, including serving as a Principal Secretary. She also served as a Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) an abolished position, and held high leadership positions in this country and globally. She is a distinguished scholar and has taught in several universities nationally and internationally. Generally, the three nominees demonstrated a deep understanding of topical, administrative and technical issues touching on governance and the role of a member of the National Police Service Commission. They possess the requisite abilities, qualifications and experience to serve in state capacities. Hon. Deputy Speaker, having considered the suitability, capabilities, qualifications and integrity of the nominees during the approval hearing, the Committee recommended that the House approves the nomination of all the three: Ms Peris Muthoni Kimani, Mr Benjamin Juma 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": "Hon. Tongoyo, I have searched my dictionary just so I can educate you. It says, “Using the phrase, ‘despite being a woman’, can indeed be considered problematic, patronising and in fact, condescending to women.’’ Why is it potentially derogatory? One, being a woman is not an obstacle to serve in any service at all. Two, a woman's service is not unusual or surprising, no matter how tough it is. Three, it implies that her gender makes her achievement exceptional, not because of the achievement itself, but because she is a woman. A better, more respectful alternative you should have used is that you do not highlight her gender and limit it to the service to merit, but say in the context and the things that she has achieved”. Hon. Tongoyo, I am sorry, but as a woman, I take great exception. Let us proceed. Who is seconding?"
