House, which has not been called for debate. The manner in which she is speaking is as if she is directing us to debate and vote on that matter in a particular manner. Could you rule Sen. Tabitha Mutinda to be completely out of order for anticipating debate and trying to direct this Senate to support reduction of allocation to county governments---

Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to contribute to this Motion. Whenever we give a task to Committees of the House, it is our belief that they prosecute and execute it in the best interest of the House and the nation, and in accordance with the Constitution of Kenya. I have requested for disclosure on the Curriculum Vitae (CVs) of the applicants that the Committee considered. In the report, the Committee has mentioned that there were very many applicants.

As a result, I can see from this report that there is a female applicant who came from Mombasa County, who was number two; that is, Mohamed Nahida Athman, who got 71.29 per cent score, higher than Mohamed Aden Abdi, the male whom the lot has fallen on, who got 70.29 per cent. When we are debating this kind of Motion, it is important that the clerks give us the full information and the full picture.

this Motion for delegations and Senators to approve or reject, you must provide full information and full disclosure. Madam Temporary Speaker, as I had said earlier, there were 48 applicants who were narrowed down to 15 and the Committee has given us the names of two applicants for consideration and approval. I cannot make a decision in the absence of the details on the qualifications of those other applicants who had been shortlisted. In this list, I see Mr. Silas Otieno Owiti from Homa Bay who scored 59.71 per cent. At least give me a glimpse of his CV or ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to thank Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. Indeed, as a member of this Committee, if there is important information that has not been brought before this House, then this Motion should be stood down. I am looking at a similar report of a nomination for Dr. Amoth and I am looking at the iPad here. There is an annexure that is 244 pages. It has minutes; it has details. Why is this different and it is a similar process, where we are being called upon to exercise our constitutional and statutory duty to make approvals or appointments ...

Madam Speaker, the word there is Parliament and it is not National Assembly. We have a responsibility and a duty to be engaged in the budgeting and resource allocation for constitutional commissions. It is an embarrassment when the office of the Auditor General is running around begging for funds and saying that the National Assembly has arbitrarily trimmed down the allocations. It is an embarrassment when other commissions like the Ethics and Anti- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
