"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I have a response which is very voluminous. However, I have shortened it, without interfering with its content, to save time. The Clerk of the National Assembly vide letter NADABC-2503 of 19th May 2025 wrote to the Public Service Commission conveying a request from Hon. Abdul Haro, Member for Mandera South Constituency, through the Chair of the Committee on National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity for a Statement regarding ethnic representation in the public service for 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 Financial Years. The Committee received the following responses on the issues raised. The first question was a report on the national proportionate population shared of each of the 46 ethnic communities, including the communities whose representation is in the public service. Proportionate to the national population share in the Financial Year 2023/2024, a total of 37 ethnic communities were represented as shown in Table No. 2. These include: Awer, Bajun, Boran, Burji, Dasinach, Dorobo, Elmolo, Embu, Gabra, Goshi, Ilchamus, Kenyan Arab, Kenyan Asian, Kenyan European, Kisii, Konso, Kuria, Maasai, Makonde, Mbeere, Meru, Nubi, Oromo, Pokomo, Rendille, Sakuye, Samburu, Suba, Swahili, Taita, Taveta, Teso, Tharaka, Turkana, Malakote, and Wayu. Hon. Deputy Speaker, on the question of those who exceeded their proportionate share in the Financial Year 2022/2023, four ethnic communities exceeded their fair share. These were the Kalenjin, Kikuyu, Kisii and Luo. In the Financial Year 2023/2024, three ethnic communities exceeded their proportionate share of the national population, namely: Kalenjin, Kikuyu and Luo. In the Financial Year 2022/2023, five ethnic communities were below their proportionate share. These were: Kenyan Somali, Luhya, Maasai, Mijikenda and Turkana. In the Financial Year 2023/2024, four ethnic communities were below their proportionate share of the population. These are: Kamba, Kenyan Somali, Luhya, and Mijikenda. There were two communities not represented in the Public Service at all in the Financial Year 2022/2023. These were, Dahalo and Kenyan Americans. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the report on staff deployed by the Public Service Commission, detailing designation, job group or scale and ethnicity, shows that as of 21st May 2025, the Commission had a total of 276 staff from 30 ethnic communities, comprising 138 males and 138 females, translating to 50 per cent each. This staffing position is against an approved establishment of 491, indicating a variance of 215. The 30 ethnic communities represented in these scales include: Bajun, Boran, Embu, Gabra, Gare, Kalenjin, Kamba, Kikuyu, Kisii, Kuria, Luhya, Luo, Maasai, Mbeere, Meru, Mijikenda, Pokot, Rendille, Sabaot, Sakuye, Samburu, Somali, Suba, Swahili, Taita, Taveta, Teso, Tharaka and Turkana."
