Temporary Speaker, corruption has gone to some level where when someone fills an employment form, they fill in a tribe that does not belong to them so that they can be accommodated. They know that their tribe is over-employed. You will see wonders in terms of data. Even the integrity of the employment data is seriously questionable. Other tribes use the tribes of the marginalised areas to ensure that they get entry. We are at a loss. People in the marginalised areas are not getting their share of employment. In as much as we will make amendments to this law, what will the marginalised communities do if the big tribes are not ready to implement it? I do not have to blame the big tribes. They are big by nature. The Government is not willing to accommodate the marginalised communities. As a country, we have been taking loans since Independence. How much of that money has gone to North- Eastern Kenya? I remember we once requested for a tarmac road through to your constituency in Dadaab in vain. The billions of shillings we are dealing with, and the economic quagmire we are in, are about loans that shall be bequeathed to generations to come. Unfortunately, we do not share these loans equitably in our constituencies. Whom have we been getting loans for? Are they for a particular region? Even the Equalisation Fund has become a mockery. Everyone is looking for equalisation when we are naturally unequal. What we used to call ASALs has changed. It is no longer a surprise that Nyeri qualifies to be an ASAL area. Something is amiss. We are getting it wrong. It is like the marginalised are getting marginalised further. Something has to be done. In my view, the reports being presented to Parliament are not authentic. They require forensic audit. Even the data is manipulated. There are hidden facts behind what is brought to Parliament. The bigger tribes have bigger proportions than what is on paper. So, I beg that in as much as we amend the Public Service (Values and Principles) Act, 2015, we should also engage each and every parastatal and ministry to make sure that there is The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
