    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. Kiswahili is a bit difficult for me, so I will express my concern in English. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to support the Statement by Sen. Faki. It is very unfortunate that in Kenya we are still practicing the old habit of choosing people from one ethnic group or background. People are learned in Kenya nowadays. If you are learned then you are qualified to do any job for which you have skills and experience. Having looked at the Statement and the expression that Sen. Faki has raised, it is unfortunate that the people who were interviewed, especially Mr. Nzomo who came first, followed by Mashid Abdal, were all left out and the fourth person was considered as the first person. The issue of people being discriminated based on tribal lines is being dealt with in the Standing Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration. I feel like we should have a joint meeting on this Statement where we are going to discuss equality; where is the equal opportunity that was supposed to be offered to Mr. Nzomo and Mashid Abdal who won this nomination but were shortchanged? It is important for Kenyans to know that everyone is learned and qualified. If at all people are being discriminated based on tribal lines, then this is what Sen. Malalah was The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
