From the outset, I oppose this Motion. Looking at these nominees and their curriculum vitaes (CVs), they are very experienced people. They have worked everywhere. They have done what needs to be done by anybody in this world. I am just wondering why it is that we could not give a chance to Kenyans who are young and would want to benefit from this kind of participation.

I believe the Jubilee Government came to power on a platform of being for the young people and willing to support them; but when you look at nominees for appointments that have been brought to this house, I keep The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

asking myself, where our youth will really go if we keep on recycling people who have been in all the commissions in this world. If you look at the first nominee, he has been in almost every commission. I really wonder: Are we saying that there are no other Kenyans who can sit in commissions?

The other thing is the issue of regional balance. Even though we are supposed to look at regional balance in totality, it becomes very difficult for us, as a House, to have that picture unless we are told these are the commissions and these are the people who sit on them. It has been said in this country that when you look at the composition of the Public Service today, we have challenges. When you look at what we call ―national representation‖, there is a bit of bias.

Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker. If we want to talk about national unity as a country, there is no way we will talk about it when some citizens of this country continue to feel that they are marginalized, just because we do not have a national outlook in some of the commissions. So, by supporting these two names, we are going to make the situation worse.
