    "content": "Yes, that is true! So, when you are going to say that Njoki has been appointed, she has been appointed as who? We need to move away from ethnicity and move much more to merit. The younger Kenyans do not want to hear this word \"ethnicity\". That is a thing that belongs only in this House and to the older generation. We need to move away from it. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, although I agree with some of the things the Mover said, we have a way in this Parliament of checking what he wants us to check, namely, through the departmental committee that has an oversight role on the Office of the President for Public Service. By moving this Motion and agreeing to it, it is almost like a vote of no confidence in that departmental committee. I think we need to go to that committee, which is chaired by hon. Kajembe, and ask the hon. Members to tell us what this is about and come and report back to the House. This would be a better way of doing things. I also have a small issue about the way the proposed Committee is structured. It is skewed to favour the Opposition. In terms of Parliamentary Committees, it is important for us to have a fairer balance. Perhaps, the Mover would like to amend the names, so that we can adjust it. Because of the points that I have raised, I would like to oppose this Motion."
