    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Prime Minister in his Statement about the implementation of the Constitution said that it is not only the implementation of the law but the spirit of the Constitution. I want the Prime Minister to refer to Article 248 of the Constitution. In this Article, the following commissions which he referred to have been set up under the Constitution: The Kenya National Human Rights Commission; the National Lands Commission; the IEBC and all the commission of the Constitution including the independent offices like the Auditor-General and the Controller of Budget. The clarification I wanted this Government to give us in terms of regional ethnic balancing is that; how many chairmen or vice-chairmen from all these commissions have come from any of the six counties that used to form the initial Coast Province? If the Prime Minister can check his facts, none of these independent office holders from the Controller of Budget, the Auditor-General, the Attorney-General and all these commissions – none even the chairman or the vice-chairman is coming from the former Province known as Coast Province. Is the Government aware of this fact and what is it doing to implement the spirit of the Constitution that there must be regional and ethnic balancing in the appointments of this country?"
