    "content": "I will table that report. It is here and I have just seen it. That is not a big issue. Nonetheless, the issue of tribalism is in the domain of my Committee. I will table the report next week. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am saying this because when this position was advertised in the first instance, it was re-advertised again and they changed so many things in that advertisement. What was in the earlier advertisement was removed because they wanted it to suit a particular person. What happened is that we have somebody from Marsabit who has worked in that position for almost two years. Since he comes from the minority, he cannot be considered. The issue I am trying to raise is the way this person was picked and selected. We need to investigate this matter. I will bring a statement to this House to investigate the process these people used to give that position to Mr. Kemei. If you had a programme or an advertisement with conditions then later on you re- advertise by removing those conditions and bringing in new ones, it clearly mean you have a preference and you want to give that particular position to a particular person. My request is that we do not need to look at only one area of this country. I come from Marsabit. Somebody from Marsarbit cannot be employed because you want a particular person from a particular region, yet he has all the qualifications. In fact, if I am asked today of what I have seen by sitting in that committee, I would say there is reliance on one particular area of this country. If you had advertised this position before, why do you change the goalpost and then re-advertise? When this position was advertised in the first instance, Mr. Kemei was not there. He was not in that shortlist. He appeared in the second advertisement. They removed some things from the second advertisement. Why did they remove? It is because they wanted to give this position to Mr. Kemei, who comes from Rift Valley and not somebody who comes from the former Eastern Province. This is wrong."
