    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I see hon. Duale has gone out. I wanted to hand over to him a list of Ministries that are manned by people from the same area. We have the Tana and Athi Water Services, Ministry of State for Special Programmes, Ministry of the East African Community, universities like Maseno, Masinde Muliro and Moi. When you look at the District Commissioners (DCs) and Provincial Commissioners (PCs) in some of those areas, they all seem to be coming from the same area. But, more importantly, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Clause 7 talks about a code of conduct and ethics for Ministers and Assistant Ministers. As I support this Bill, I want to congratulate hon. Ethuro for this brilliant piece of work. As we talk about Ministers under Clause 3, we should also address the number of Assistant Ministers. That is a loophole that can be used to have a bloated group of Assistant Ministers as it is the case now. It is important to specify that when we are talking about 24 Ministers, do they include Assistant Ministers or we are talking about another 24 Assistant Ministers. If we do that, we will still have a bloated Cabinet."
