    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to commend Sen. Cheptumo for bringing this Motion on the issue of the integration of ethnic minorities and marginalised communities in Kenya noting that minority groups and ethnic communities have been recognised under Article 56 of the Constitution- “The State shall put in place affirmative action programmes designed to ensure that minorities and marginalized groups– (a) participate and are represented in governance and other spheres of life;” It takes the attention of the House and Sen. Cheptumo, the Mover of the Motion, to know that in the history of Parliament, especially the Senate in the last session, although we lost him, Sen. Victor Pregnei, was an Ogiek, the first Ogiek to be nominated by a major party then, our former party. May our colleague rest in peace. Sen. Pregnei was nominated on the strength of Article 56 of the Constitution of Kenya but unfortunately, we always assume--- I do not have a problem with PwDs, but most of the time the huge nominations or hiring normally go to the Pw,Ds. We must also include the marginalised and the minorities in the group. You remember, and we want to thank President His Excellency William Ruto because the other day he issued citizenship to the newest tribe in the coast, tribe No.44, if I am not wrong, in recognition of the marginalised. There are many marginalised communities; the Kalenjin, the Kikuyu, there are the Dorobos, the Sengwers and the Ogieks. Article 56(b) of the Constitution states- “Minorities and marginalised groups; (b) are provided special opportunities in educational and economic fields;”"
