I have noticed that these are career diplomats. They have already served in other stations. We have not heard any adverse report against them. Therefore, they have the requisite qualification and experience. I believe that they will serve the country well. There is the issue of the age of the nominees. Some of these positions call for maturity. We have no problem with their age. There are several other jobs in this country that people can apply for. I believe in the wisdom of the President in appointing these ladies and gentlemen to these positions.

From the Report that we have just gone through on Nairobi and Kajiado police stations, I can say without fear of contradiction that the same applies to almost all police stations across this country. That Report can be used to see how best we can improve the situations in those police stations. We urgently need civic education for our police officers to ensure that we do not spread this disease further. As it is now, all the countries are experiencing these challenges at the same time. You cannot even say that you will benchmark anywhere on how they have handled ...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I too join my colleagues to support. I have noted that the critical issues have been captured: the qualification, the integrity and also the fact that there must be citizens of Kenya. The second one is that four out of seven, if you have a majority in the appointing authority, it places the greatest amount of say to the Parliament. Therefore, I support.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I, too, support the Report of the Committee. This Motion is coming at the right time. It is timely particularly now when we are facing a lot of challenges in terms of not passing the two-thirds gender rule. I am sure out there the public is probably looking to see the seriousness of the Members of Parliament in addressing this matter. The policy gives us a framework which will accelerate the realisation of gender equality and fairness. As the Mover was talking, I picked up a few issues that he talked about. ...
