    "content": "The reasons the Ministry gave was the scheme of service developed by the Ministry of State for Public Service, which copy I have here. Before 2007, anybody who managed to pass Form Four without necessarily getting the cut-off points was entitled to join the Civil Service as a clerk. Now you have a condition of a C- grade. The residents of that area that I am talking about in particular, are completely disadvantaged because not very many of them, first of all, acquire the C- grade and those who have acquired it find a possibility to do other courses; diploma courses or bridging courses and then go to the university. So, there is no possibility of them becoming clerks in the Kenyan Government. In which case, therefore, those clerks become the reservoir of the Civil Service because from there, they train and later become personnel officers or senior officers. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is not the Kenya we want because if you continue with that method for another five or ten years, then you will find such an imbalance in the country because what do we do to our youth who finish Form Four and are unable to join the Civil Service because of that cut-off point? During the same December, the Ministry of Housing advertised jobs. We only got 12 out of 375 and none of them came from Tana River, northern Kenya or all the parts of Kenya where we feel education programmes have not been fair. This percentage speaks for itself."
