    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said that I respect the individuals that I have mentioned. I have no problem with them. I am reacting to a letter by the Head of Public Service, Amb. Muthaura. He has given that letter to Parliament. It is good so that, when we make a decision next time, we will know that in this country, the interviews are just there as a camouflage. The selection panel which was there--- First of all, and that is an area which we want to mention, we need to reform our Public Service Commission which is in charge of hiring, so that we avoid what we are seeing here today. To me, the selection panel which has been put in place is just supposed to get the names then the two Principals sit and agree on who to appoint. I say so because in this letter, there was somebody called--- It is in our recommendation No.7(1). It reads: “The Committee is satisfied with the nomination of Simon Johnny Ndubai.” I want to be on record and say the following: Let the appointments be done on merit and under the Constitution. We want the face of Kenya to be there, so that all of us can see. Let it not be the face of individuals. I want to call upon the President and Prime Minister to stop trading in. Give Kenyans jobs to do. Ms. Lichuma is not going to work for the people of Kakamega. She is going to work for the people of Kenya, unless we want to say that, since our people have not been appointed, they should work in the region they come from. Are we going to build this country? Are we going to talk about one nation, one people or about one nation, several people? Some of us who have no appointments might declare and say: “Since we have no appointments in that Commission, do not bother with us. We will declare our own way of working.”"
