    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, what goes on record in this House is very important and, therefore, we need to get the facts right. The reports that have been adopted in this House based on 2009 census list third largest community in this country as Kalenjin. Hon. Deputy Speaker, unless we go back to that report and change the ethnicity or the ethnic composition of this country; as far as I am concerned, according to the official records, the third largest tribe or ethnic community is Kalenjin. Actually, hon. Mbadi who is speaking is thought to be a Luo, but he is regarded as a Suba in our statistics. The Kalenjin, whether Kipsigis, Nandi, Tugen and Elgeyo- Marakwet are all lumped together as Kalenjins. If that is a mistake, it should be corrected. It must have been committed by the second President of this country who wanted his community to look big and, therefore, amalgamated so many tribes which form different ethnic communities. That is what we are hearing today. That report is with us and that is the official position."
