    "content": "The requirement is to make it to be in line with our Constitution where we are saying that in the appointment of the secretary to the county public service board, we must consider gender, regional balance and minorities. I think, this addresses major issues because when you look at a county where I come from, the county public service board has marginalised one of the second largest communities in the county, the Sabaot community. It is not represented in the county public service board. My friend Ferdinard Wanyonyi can attest to that. So, this addresses the issue that when you are appointing, consider all the communities. If you are in Trans-Nzoia, consider Turkanas, Kisiis, Sabaots, Luhyias and everybody else, so that everybody has a share in the public service board. When you put only one community, then the rest of the communities, the Kikuyus and Kisiis are left out of that public service board. It is unfair. So, I think, this amendment is timely. Although things have moved on, moving forward, it will address the inefficiencies or areas we have left."
