    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, to begin with, the very stringent qualifications that have become conditional for the appointment of these people will definitely make most land boards national. This is particularly in areas which are essentially marginal and in areas like Coast Province. So, the national texture will always be there and for the benefit of hon. Orengo, as much as I want to appreciate what he is saying, and this is what we have all along prayed for in this country, this will never function that well. We have seen managers of major parastatals who are working in areas outside their own areas and given a whole national parastatal body to run but what have they done? They just ethnicized themselves. The fact that you have an opportunity to be a nationalist has not been such an incentive for most Kenyans for them to practice nationalism. Every time they got an opportunity to be nationalists, they use the national cake to take to their own ethnic community. That is how it has been throughout. I agree with you in the way you see it and that you want to look at the Kenya of tomorrow. However, we also have the Kenya of today and the Kenya of yesterday, and we do not want the mistakes that were done in the past to be repeated. So, this is basically what is happening. We have seen that. We have seen how blue chip prastatals which are national have been managed."
