    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have a quick reaction to the Statement that has been presented by the Chairperson. I sympathise with her because the matters being handled here would have needed Waziri to do a bit more than what has been presented here. Hon. Benjamin Gathiru Mwangi asked questions that had everything to do with fairness, especially as concerns the constituencies in Nairobi. This response just falls short of insulting Members of Parliament from Nairobi. It is just making general statements in response to very critical questions. The question was whether there is fairness across the board even in cities like Nairobi where recruitment takes place in one centre at Nyayo Stadium while in the rural areas, those exercises have been brought down to the sub-counties. Nairobi has very interesting dynamics. For example, anybody can carry an identity card and claim that they picked it up in Kibra, Kariokor, or elsewhere. That does not tell us which constituency they come from. We are totally disenfranchised as constituencies in Nairobi County when recruitment takes place in one centre at Nyayo Stadium. How is the NYS treating that existing malady? They should not tell us that the process was fair while we know that it was not fair and equitable for the youth in Nairobi. We want to know how it will be for sub-counties in Nairobi and not the generalities that have been given here. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
