"content": "On ethnicity, the Committee recently met with the Public Service Commission (PSC) to get their feedback on the steps they are taking to address ethnic imbalance as well as shortage of staff as a result of factors like natural attrition. As such, the Committee is looking into possible interventions to address this menace in public service. I was listening to the Turkana County Member of Parliament and my sister Hon. Waqo Naomi. It is also painful to note, for instance, the Member of Parliament for Turkana County said they have not had any CEO from the Turkana community since Independence. I feel them. I feel Hon. Naomi Waqo. However, you are in Government. I encourage you to now use your various forums to tell President, William Ruto, to implement some of these things because I feel you. A Turkana is also a Kenyan. I feel you. A resident of Mandera is also a Kenyan. Therefore, I urge the Government of Kenya Kwanza to be proactive in helping some of its members in this House. The Committee also takes note of the issue of timeliness in deliberation of its reports. That has been rectified by splitting of the Parliamentary Investment Committee (PIC) into three committees. For the record, my committee is dealing with the 96th agency. We have already tabled two reports and in the coming weeks, we will table two other reports that are ready. In terms of scoring, our Committee deserves grade A. Moving forward, I assure this House that we are committed to upholding highest standards of accountability and efficiency. Our mission is to ensure that the Public Investments Committee on Governance and Education yields the best possible outcomes for citizens of our nation. With those few remarks I beg to reply."
