    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the delivery of services to the common person has been an issue for a very long time. The employment of people in the public service has also been issue for a very long time. Even the issue of civic education emanates from Nairobi and then goes to the rural areas. This Bill tries to address all these issues. For instance, civic education and hiring of civil servants will be done at the county level. So, the people who have been disadvantaged, especially, the minorities like us, shall have an upper hand now, by also having our people incorporated into the Government service. That is why I want to congratulate all those people who supported the enactment of this Constitution. For example, in all these Commissions that have been formed so far, you will not find a Teso in any Commission. Everytime names keep on popping, you will just find people from three or four tribes. You will not find a Kuria or somebody from Taita Taveta. This Bill tries to cater for all including the minorities, disabled and all cadres of people that will be found in the county. So, for the first time, we are trying to address an issue that has been causing tension amongst Kenyans for long."
