    The Vice Chairperson also urged the members to pay attention to issues of diversity and inclusivity and ensure they are given as much consideration in the selection process.

    She also told the panel to ensure that the names they will forward to the President at the end of the assignment reflect Kenya’s diverse communities.

    “I urge you to ensure high threshold of integrity, ethical standards and professionalism are met as you embark on this assignment,” she advised.
