    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Motion. The President's Speech was very juicy. He always does that. Even before he became the President, his speeches were very good. The problem is action. He has now given the Government a challenge. It is now the responsibility of the people who are in the Government to take action. I do not know whether they will do it. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have been talking about tribalism. Today, tribalism is worse than ever before. It is the Government that is leading in tribalism. If the Government appoints people on tribal basis--- It makes sure that people are removed from Ministries and replaced by 23 March, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 77 people from one part of the country! There is no way tribalism will go. If you look at the main Ministries such Finance and the Office of the President, you will hardly get anybody from any other part of this country, apart from the Mt. Kenya region. What do you expect us to do? Do you expect us to clap for them? Do not expect us to say they are doing a good job when our people are being removed from offices! Do you want us to say that there is no tribalism? I will give an example, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The other day, the Vice-Chancellor of Kenyatta University was removed from office. When he was appointed in 2003--- The Kenyatta University Constitution states very clearly that a Vice-Chancellor will serve for a five-year term. However, because that particular one was a Luhya, he was given a three-year term only. The one who has replaced him has been given a five-year term. Is that not tribalism? Why was he given a three-year term, when he was supposed to serve a five-year term?"
