    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg your indulgence so that we could read through the sections so that hon. Members understand. The clause says: Discrimination in access to and distribution of public resources. \"2I(1) Public resources shall be distributed equitably and geographically, to take into account Kenya's diversity. (2) It shall be unlawful for any public officer, while in charge of public resources and without justification---\" That is very crucial, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir! \"---to distribute resources in an ethnically inequitable manner.\" In other words, ethnically inequitable and without justification. So, there is already a qualification about justification. And then, Clause 3(a) says:- \"If the officer fails to use the criteria---\" November 27, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3695 Clause 3(b) says:- \"Specific regions consistently receive more resources than other regions and there is no clear justification for it.\" In other words, there is justification, including passing the Budget. If there is no justification, yet the distribution is ethnically inequitable, that is the mischief that this particular section is looking at. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir."
