    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is only fair that Hon. Opiyo Wandayi sticks to the facts. I do not want him to name officers, because he has been here since 2013 and we have served with him. He knows the officers. He knows those who are in directorates as directors, deputy directors and senior officers of this House. Therefore, it may be very easy to speak to the gallery and the people out there inciting communities that they are not employable or are not employed. My brother, it may look very nice saying it here, but he is saying something about Members of Parliament who represent those communities, that they do not speak for them, which is not true. I am also saying this because Hon. Opiyo Wandayi knows that there are Members of Parliament from the communities he has alluded to who have had people employed to serve in the Parliamentary Service and in other state positions. Therefore, I find it extremely and completely out of order for Hon. Opiyo Wandayi to insinuate that there is a community whose members have not been employed to serve in any senior position within Parliament while he knows that it is not true. I wish he could have tabled a list of the people holding senior management positions within the Parliamentary Service, showing their ethnicities. You would see that even members of the Luo Community are serving in very senior positions within the Parliamentary Service and in other echelons of the Government. I just want to appeal to him to stop inciting people."
