    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is a requirement that counties must employ a certain percentage of people from outside their counties. It is now becoming necessary for us to hear from some of the counties that have been complaining in the past to see how they are performing on that particular requirement. If these statistics are used positively, they will start correcting some of those thinkings. Therefore, I urge our fellow Kenyans, and especially those in this Parliament, that whenever a Motion is brought on the Floor of the House, let us look at it in a very sober manner. When we have important Bills, let us not use history and the past to judge the future and present. This is why we have a small problem in our other House because Members are not looking at issues in the present but with some history and baggage that they are carrying from the past. Let us live in the present. Even in this House, I always have a feeling that we need to review some of the things that exist, including our National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) which talks about equality but not equity. When such a debate comes on the Floor of the House, let us look at it in a sober manner but not in the eye of some certain tribes. Let us look at it as Kenyans."
