If you want a shorter route because this is an urgent matter, seek that the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Tourism and Wildlife, summons the Cabinet Secretary or the Principal Secretary of the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Heritage and then you will deal with the issue there. That is the quickest method. Please, give Hon. Kamket the microphone."

"content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I can see the dilemma you find yourself in concerning the matter raised by Hon. Kamket. It is indeed a very weighty matter. It calls for some unique intervention. As a House, we do not want to be seen as micro- managing the Executive. How I wish that the Leader of the Majority Party could listen to me. The matter raised by Hon. Kamket requires some unique intervention. The recruitment is starting next week. If left the way it is, young Kenyan youths will be required to walk or travel long distances to county headquarters. I am imagining a county like Marsabit. You expect someone coming from Moyale, which borders Ethiopia, to travel to Marsabit Town to participate in the recruitment of KWS rangers. That is one sure way of disenfranchising the Kenyan youth. Something extraordinary can be done even at this late hour. I support your position, Hon. Kamket. Unless something is done to decentralise this exercise to sub-counties or constituencies, it can be suspended. The world is not ending today or tomorrow. We can suspend it and have it done in a manner that meets the expectations of Kenyans, a majority of whom support equity. Thank you."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the statement by Hon. Kamket. It is indeed true that travelling long distances to county headquarters is punishing unemployed young Kenyans. We should not be doing that at this time. Just as we do with police and military recruitment, the KWS one should also be done at the sub-county level. Members of Parliament do not operate at the county level. Members of Parliament are supposed to oversee all those national Government activities, including such recruitment. It is possible that they have devised a way of recruiting at the county level to run away from proper oversight. Except for some few constituencies that have two or three sub-counties, Members of Parliament are able to ascertain whether the people being recruited are from that sub-county or constituency when you recruit at the sub-county or constituency level. I support and request that the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Tourism and Wildlife, Hon. Kareke Mbiuki, cause the Cabinet Secretary to appear before the Committee The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
