    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is nothing new that the hon. Member has told me. He should have reserved his energy. I think that all this arithmetic that we are doing; we do not have an intention to alienate any community or any part of this country. However, it is also important not to alienate credentials, performance and excellence for the sake of creating gender balance, ethnic or even regional balance. If it were to happen that individuals from one village and community would be the ones to slaughter the dragon of corruption to benefit all the people of the 42 ethnic groups in this country, so be it. If it happens that the unity of a Mkamba with the unity of a Kisii and a Luo driven by a Kikuyu and being fed by a Pokomo is what would create convenience for passage to civility of nominations, that is a tragedy. I echo, in conclusion, what the Committee has said about passion, drive and initiative. By the way, some of us speak idealistically and you may even say that we are not using our positions to create illegal wealth. However, it is the creation of illegal wealth in this country that is creating another community of disaffected, dissatisfied, disoriented and alienated citizens that are creating insecurity. It is a great shame for anyone, and I repeat that it is a great shame onto you who rises to caucus in the lobbies of Parliament, in the restaurant of Parliament or the corridors of Parliament saying that this individual must be supported because he knows how to eat"
