    "content": "There is Clause 9(12) which is not a proposed amendment but an emphasis that in selection of this Board, the President and the Prime Minister must ensure that this Board reflects regional and ethnic diversity of the people of Kenya. The last appointees that were there clearly showed that there was a political arrangement of some big tribes and those tribes managed to get appointees in the last nominees which are having problems everywhere. We do not want this to be repeated – I am saying this to emphasize – the two principals must know that the Pokomos exist in this country. They must know that even “half- Pokomo and half- Taita” exist in this country. They must know that there is a tribe called Kenyans who were brought up and they have so much mixed heritages. Their grandfathers were Indians and all that, but they belong to this country. Ethnic diversity does not mean that you only pick the big tribes. A practice is emerging that if you want regional and ethnic diversity, you give the four big tribes their chances and there will be peace. We condemn this practice. Let us look at proper ethnic and regional balancing. That was our obiter dicta."
