. I want to see the President recognizing that Paul Ereng was a Turkana runner and he can sit on this board. I want to see the President realizing that a person called David Rudisha - who is neither from his community nor his Deputy’s community, but he was a great runner - can sit on this board. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we, as an alternative government, have made up our minds, that any such flawed appointments, we will be going to court to challenge for being unconstitutional and an assault on the cohesion and unity of this country.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have finished with Clause 11. I now go to Clause 14 regarding the powers of the board to receive grants, gifts, donations and so on. This has to be qualified because some of those international bodies that manufacture banned substances may be the ones gifting the board so that sometimes when the offensive substances are traced, they are not exposed.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a feeling that this Petition is incompetent to the extent that it is an assault on affirmative action on two respects. Although women are 51 per cent of the population, they suffer immense prejudices and discrimination at the hands of men. More importantly, this lady comes from a minority community. We must laud her for the success in academia to the level where she is.
