    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Though the Hon. Member for Tiaty looks at this as a weak link, I want to ride on his asking for this Statement because it gives me a great platform. We have the same challenge in our constituencies in Vihiga County, specifically in Emuhaya Constituency, which I represent. In the current state of the nation, getting employment is very difficult for citizens and the young people. Everyone is very keen on any opportunity that arises for employment. Members of my constituency were told to walk all the way to Kidundu, which is very far. That actually limits the number of young people who go to seek for that employment, jobs and opportunities that are provided by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). Yes, we have got the Statement and I thank the Hon. Member for Tiaty for having sought for it. I also ask the Chairman that which guarantee is there moving forward into the future or even now that the recruitment by the KWS will be done at the constituency level. The constituency is the baseline where everybody can access recruitment opportunities because we want to give equal opportunities to all Kenyans. I also wish to ask that now that it was done at the county level for the reason that they are saving on the costs, what guarantee can the Chairman give us and Kenyans outside there, that we shall have a list printed out to show how distribution was per constituency, because that is where we wanted it to be done. Hon. Speaker, those are the two issues I wanted to raise. Thank you."
