"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not think he knows Geography. He should go and look at his map. We have Shangilas in Kenya. So, I was simply trying to say that we need services closer to our people. When we have a district--- First of all, if you want to fight the security problem in this country--- We should even divide Nairobi into districts! If there is one police station in our area, we can create more police stations, so that services could be closer to the people. For example, when they created East Baringo District--- When there is an Administration Police recruitment, you can recruit people from your own community. If you look at the Police Force and other armed forces, some communities are not represented! That is because during the recruitment in district headquarters, they are marginalised. The communities that live around the district headquarters over-run them. For example, the Sengwer in Cherengany have been swallowed by other bigger communities. So, when there is a recruitment into the armed forces, they are not recognised. The recognition of those communities is very important. If you go to Australia, the Government has deliberately created a certain unit for some communities. This Motion is going to bring recognition to those communities so that, the Government could deliberately take services to those people. With those few remarks, I sully support this Motion."
