"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we speak now, I have three locations that do not have chiefs in Turkana Central. The Question was not a matter of lack of advertisement where the Assistant Minister is asking the Provincial Commissioners to provide wide advertisement of the vacancies. The fundamental issue is that in many parts of the country and, particularly ASAL areas- -- Most Members of Parliament from the ASAL areas will confirm that this kind of requirement, that is, the qualifications of a mean grade of C+ in English and C+ in Kiswahili and age attainment of 35 years you cannot attract any person from ASAL areas to apply for the job of a chief. A person from the ASAL areas who attains a mean grade of C+ in the KCSE is a good person to go to the university. Since we are few, we are encouraging them to go to the university. So, you cannot get a mean grade of C+ be that old and want to be a chief. When is the Assistant Minister going to invoke affirmative action? In any case, you do not need a C+ to be a Member of Parliament. Why do you require chiefs to have grade C+?"
