    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, His Excellency the President may have very good intentions. However, I am sad to say that the Ministers of this Government are not for the good of the people of Kenya. This is not a Government for the people, of the people and by the people. It is a Government of meetings and seminars. I will prove this. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Chair encourages us, as hon. Members of Parliament, to stop raising Questions, but take issues with Ministers. When job vacancies in the Ministry of State for Youth Affairs were advertised, people of North Eastern Province did not apply because the roads in that region were impassable. As a result, our people did not read the newspapers nor received the Government circular on those job opportunities. The District Officer confirmed that I wrote to the Minister for Immigration about this issue. Out of 15 people employed as clerks for registration and issuance of identity cards, 13 came from outside Ijara Constituency. I wrote a letter on 30th, November, 2006, to the Minister. This was after I visited his office three times and I could not find him. However, up to date, I have not received an answer from him. Can we say that this is a Government for the people, of the people and by the people? Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to commend Minister Akaranga. I wrote to him and he invited me to his office. I told him the problem we have. However, up to now, it has not been solved. This is a copy of the letter I wrote to him."
