"content": "Please, save me from this Member here; he is finishing my time. He has left you and now come to me. Although we are talking about the BBI solving this problem, it is in this House where this issue can be addressed. Bringing forth an issue that people could not be employed in the maritime sector because of language, is not something to be entertained. I thought that Kiswahili is a national language; that once somebody can speak in Kiswahili, they can be employed in one area or another. If this is the situation, as the Senator has raised, it is an insult and injury to the people from the Coast. Already the seaport has been transferred to become a dry port somewhere in Naivasha, and it will bring more problems. Employment will soon be centralized in Naivasha instead of the Coast. Therefore, the people from the Coast should proper for more problems, because employment has been transferred from the Coast to another region. We support the people from the Coast that those local jobs should be given to them. In fact, some few week ago some people in Bomet almost raised a concern when the Principal of Bomet University employed a watchman from her area. The local jobs should be given to the locals, as a way of promoting Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). I support the people of Mombasa. The jobs in their area should be given to them."
