    "content": "Without this Bill, where I come from, Public Service positions are for auction. They go to the highest bidder. Police and military recruit positions go to the highest bidder. Even positions as low as Assistant Chiefs and village elders nowadays go to the highest bidder. This Bill will instil discipline in our Public Service practice and ensure that whenever somebody seeks to have a job, he declares his identity - ethnicity and roots - without fearing that they would be victimised because they come from a certain part of Kenya. The passage of this Bill will give us freedom to have self-esteem as we carry with us our identity and geo-ethnicity. I do not want to be afraid of saying that I am a Kisii from Nyamira since people will say I cannot get a job. We want to have equal opportunities. Every institution in this Republic will declare whom they have employed and where they come from, so that we know the deficiency or deficit of persons from certain regions in this country for priority to be given to them. Through this Bill, we must have an affirmative action. Where The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
