    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have always said that when the Bible says: “Judgment begins from the house”, it means it has to begin from those believers. When we say that those commissions must start working on bringing back national cohesion, we are not saying they should go there and arrest chiefs or a little clerk in the Government! What we are saying and what we expect them to do is, number one; they should tell us how many, of the members of staff in the Office of the President, belong to the ethnic community of the President? How many are holding sensitive positions and they belong to the ethnic community of the President? That is because they are independent people. They should tell us, in the office of the Vice-President and Ministry of Home Affairs, how many people who come from his own ethnic community work there? In the parastatals that are under his Ministry, how many people who come from his own ethnic community work there? Even in his own security. Is he, really, himself, exercising national cohesion? In the Office of the Prime Minister, how many people in his security detail are from his ethnic community? How many people from his ethnic community who are working in the parastatals under his watch? That should come down to Ministers. The ministers should tell us, since they were appointed into the Government, how many of them have been appointing their relatives, cousins and friends into positions of authority in total disregard to national cohesion? They should tell us, in the Ministries, the number of jobs which are being given in terms of work and business opportunities, how many Kenyans from all regions of this country are benefiting from those opportunities? Is it only the Minister’s friends, sons, daughters and cousins? How many are within this cocoon which has created a country of ten billionaires and millions of poverty-stricken people? This is a cocoon of families that have ruined this country! This is the report that we want them to Table here and start acting on the real issues that affect this country!"
