    "content": "The findings of the Audit Report demonstrate that historical injustices and lack of cohesion in Kenya is a major issue in addressing inequality in the Civil Service, and requires strong political will, commitment and demand for recognition of Kenya as a nation as far as the important issue of employment is concerned. The recommendation is that within six months of adopting this Report, the Public Service Commission and the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) should implement comprehensive diversity and inclusion policies with clear objectives, action plans and accountability measures and submit annual reports on the same to monitor progress. The National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC) should co-operate with public institutions to enhance women representation, particularly in leadership roles. The National Youth Council (NYC) should promote youth engagement in decision-making by creating opportunity, providing training and establishing mentorship programmes. The Public Service Commission should enforce policies that ensure diversity representation in boards of public institutions that adhere to constitutional requirements. Hon. Temporary Speaker, this Report sheds light on critical issues of employment diversity in our public institutions. By fostering an inclusive and diverse workforce, public institutions can help to address the needs of the citizens, contribute positive and social change, and ensure a more equitable future for all. Let us all work together to make this vision a reality. As a Committee, we look forward to more legislative actions to assist in this course. Finally, having noted the proceedings of the Committee on National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity on employment diversity audit in public institutions, I beg to move and urge the House to adopt the Report. I request Hon. Toroitich to second."
