Speaker, on the issue of regional balance, this is a concern that is hitting us on all sides. When we have an individual who has got a position in an institution that other members of his or her community are already serving, how do you expect the institution that interviews to make that decision? I am encountering the same problem in the departmental committee I am serving. We, probably, then need to say that individuals from this particular region are not advised to apply, which is not fair. So, on this matter, I am sure that my good friend Njee Muturi will sort out the regional balance issues in this office. I want to urge my colleagues to give the professionals who advise our political leaders a chance to serve, so that we can see effectiveness. With those remarks I beg to support."}
