    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the case of Maria Nzomo, the letter from the then Secretary to the Cabinet, Mr. Muthaura, was that they were dropping her because she is a Kikuyu. This was just an innocent woman who happened to have been a Kamba with a Kikuyu name. So, this business of telling people that “we are not going to give you this position when you are number one based on your tribe”, needs to stop. We need to be very clear. If we have decided that this particular community will not get this job, tell them:- “Please, if you are a Kikuyu, this slot is for other tribes. Do not apply. If you are a Kamba, this slot is for other tribes. Do not apply”. Why bother going for an interview where you become number one and you are not picked? I think Parliament has to come out very strongly and this report should be the first one to be sent back. Where women are concerned, in fact, I would have thought the two Principals would have said “since there was a woman concerned, go back and get other women as a substitute for this one.” They were very comfortable with getting their own; another man called them “mankind”. This is not acceptable."
