    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to agree with the hon. Member that, out the number of those who were recruited in Narok South, only two were from the dominant community. I think that is the preferred terminology rather than “indigenous”! Dominant community! I do agree and want to say that, that has been noted. Incidentally, our attention was drawn to that anomaly after the recruitment had been done and letters of appointment had been issued. Nevertheless, I want to emphasize that the officer who conducted the recruitment exercise followed the instructions. All those who were recruited were residents of Narok South. They hold identity cards showing that they are from Narok South. However, we realize that in order to have some equity, it is right that we exercise some caution in future to ensure that we recruit people proportionate to the population in question. Therefore, I want to assure Mr. ole Lankas that, that has been noted and we will ensure that in future, before any officer starts recruiting, he will have been made aware of the percentages of population in a district so that in recruiting for whatever slots are made available, they will be shared proportionately to the population of the people resident in that district. That will not only be in Narok South, but throughout the country. I want to assure this House that, in future, we will do that."
