"content": "Many of these nominees, as has been said by the Chairman… I know he was slightly misunderstood and I think it is largely because of where he comes from. There are those who have the misconception that Hon. Tongoyo comes from the Maa community and has no regard for women. I can ascertain and prove that I have known him for a few years. He is also a father of girls. In line with their culture, you do not count them, but he is a father to a number of girls and has very high respect for women. He was saying it on a positive note that these ladies have served in very crucial dockets. Ms Peris Muthoni served in the police service as a senior police officer. She rose through the ranks from a junior officer to the rank of regional or county commander which was her last posting. The same applies to Prof Colette Suda. As has been said, she served as a Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS). I think, at some point also as a Principal Secretary in the Ministry of Education - the Higher Education Department."

That is why you had the Hon. ladies led by the distinguished Member for Nandi County, Hon. Cynthia Muge, rise in their places. So, that nobody is discriminated against on the basis of age, gender or even religion. Therefore, these ladies and this gentleman at whatever age are Kenyans who have been vetted and ascertained by the Committee."

"content": "Hon. Kaluma sits in that Committee and is a very serious and senior lawyer. You heard him the other day when he was discussing the Law of the Sea. He can tell you, even legally, that they vetted and ascertained that these people merit to serve in these positions. They have very good experience. With age, comes experience. A commission is like a Board of Trustees or a Board of Governors in a company or institution. They are not the secretariat in the Commission. The secretariat has a very able young person; I think called Mr Lelei who is a Chief Executive Officer (CEO). He has a very able team of young, energetic Kenyans who are very productive at their prime age. It is also good to marry that with a board or a commission that has both experience and wisdom. I say that because all these officers have served in senior positions in government and outside government. Therefore, they have the requisite experience and wisdom to guide the Commission."
