"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The exercise by KWS has already started in many parts of the country and, therefore, it might be difficult to reverse it. Hon. Speaker, as a House, we want to say that such positions should be shared amongst the constituencies in future. In Marakwet East, for instance, in Iten, the headquarters of Elgeyo Marakwet County, hundreds of youths started travelling yesterday. From the border of West Pokot to Iten is almost 200 kilometres. So, they had to leave yesterday and sleep in Iten so that they can participate in the exercise tomorrow. You find Elgeyo Marakwet County having 10 slots when you have almost 400 youths who have travelled hundreds of kilometres. Hon. Speaker, we ask the Ministry, through the Hon. Chairman, my good friend, to make sure that future recruitment exercises should be done near the people. They should also share the slots among the constituencies. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."

"content": "They are engaging the Hon. Chairman too much. I heard him say that certain counties which border national parks and game reserves will get affirmative action, which is a very good thing. I just want to urge the Hon. Chairman that I hope that is not lip service to those particular counties. The people of Narok County have looked after wildlife so much and they treasure that particular responsibility of being employed by KWS. We, therefore, hope that that statement will be adhered to. Of course, it is a pity that people from Kilgoris will be asked to go to Ole Ntimama Stadium, which is very far away. They have to come through Kisii and Bomet in order to get back to their Narok Headquarters. It would have been much easier for KWS to wait for funds to recruit people on site. That being the case, we hope that this will be a transparent exercise and we can get to know the report of how affirmative action was conducted."

"content": " Hon. Speaker, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. What we need to do, especially in the recruitment of people to the armed forces, is to create greater accountability such that every Kenyan has an equal opportunity to be recruited into the forces. Hon. Speaker, what happens is that the recruitment officers will come to Kilifi and leave at the end of the day. We will not know who has qualified and who has not. At the end of the day when they do the report, there is nobody from Kilifi. Hon. Speaker, what we need at the end of the recruitment exercise, just like we do in elections, is the list of those that have been selected to be pasted on the wall of an office. This is for everybody to know that in this village or sub-county, so and so were taken from that rigorous competition. Just imagine those people come, run and do all those kinds of things. At the end of the day, you know that you have qualified. But you are taken to a chamber and you are told you cannot not be taken because you failed a urine test. Yet you did a urine test the previous day which showed that you are clean. Then on that particular day you are told that if The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"

We want to know how many slots have been allocated for Kilifi and how many Kilifians have been recruited. We will then rest easy knowing that no corruption or malpractices have been involved. The Committee please, as Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) goes on with this, we want greater accountability on the numbers of the people recruited. We want to know how many will be recruited beforehand and we want to know how many have been recruited. That is the best way to bring accountability. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
