"content": "Committee on National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity regarding the Status of Representation of Ethnic Communities in the Public Service for the Financial Years 2022/2023 and 2023/2024. The Public Service Commission is established under Article 233 of the Constitution to manage and oversight human resource in the public service. Its mandate under Article 234 includes among others, to promote the values and principles of public service including representation of Kenya’s diverse communities and providing equal opportunities for appointment of the members of all ethnic groups. In 2024, the Commission developed the Draft Public Service Commission (Affirmative Action) Regulations with an aim to provide a framework for ensuring equitable representation of ethnic communities in the public service. Additionally, the Commission’s Framework for the Implementation of Values and Principles in Articles 10 and 232 provides that public institutions should observe the principle of equitable representation of all ethnic communities in proportion to their share of the national population. It is against this background that I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity on the following: 1. A report on the national proportionate population share of each of the 46 ethnic communities, indicating communities whose representation in the public service: (a) Is proportionate to their national population share. (b) Exceeds their proportionate share. (c) Is below their proportionate share. (d) Not represented in the public service at all. 2. Authorised establishment indicating the in-post figures and the variance for each Ministry and State Department for the Financial Years 2022/2023 and 2023/2024. 3. A report on staff employed by the Public Service Commission, detailing designation, job scale and ethnicity. 4. A report of all new appointments and promotions made in Ministries, Departments and Agencies for the Financial Years 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 including ethnic representation; and 5. Status of the Draft Public Service Commission (Affirmative Action) Regulations, 2024. I, thank you."

"content": "to Moyale Border, and also facilitates cross-border connections to Ethiopia for a distance of approximately, 545 kilometres. The Wajir-Griftu-Eldas-Buna-Bute-Moyale-Ethiopia route has the potential to unlock transformative potential, which includes reducing logistics costs for businesses, strengthening supply chain resilience, and fostering regional development. Such strategic investments not only bridge isolated communities to national and continental markets but also, position Northern Kenya as a gateway for Pan-African trade, which aligns with the vision of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) of seamless continental connectivity. This road was done in 1974. I am sure you are aware of the history. A robust road network serves as the backbone of economic transformation, catalysing trade expansion, cross-border integration, and equitable regional development. Ethiopia has reportedly successfully completed its section of the road connecting Moyale to Addis, transforming this critical border link into a powerful driver of regional integration. The upgraded corridor now facilitates seamless trade and movement between Kenya and Ethiopia, significantly reducing transit time and costs. However, on the Kenyan side, tarmacking of the road from Wajir to Moyale is yet to commence. Completion of this strategic road infrastructure will not only strengthen bilateral relations but also, unlock new opportunities for economic collaboration, fostering growth across the East African (EA) region and beyond. It is against this background, that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure on the following: 1. The current status of funding, planning and implementation of the tarmacking of the Wajir-Griftu-Eldas-Buna-Bute-Moyale-Ethiopia Road A14 International Trunk Road managed by KeNHA, including specific timelines for its commencement. 2. Plans put in place to fund this project, particularly under the Horn of Africa Gateway Project or any other development initiatives, and details of these funding commitments. 3. Measures put in place to fast-track the tarmacking of this critical corridor to ensure its timely completion and maximise its economic and regional integration benefits. I, thank you."
