"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I must say that vernacular languages, even though they are meant to unite communities and promote issues of culture, language and heritage, when used in public offices, tend to promote disharmony. I keep on saying that public offices are occupied by persons who are qualified, and who are posted or deployed in those offices irrespective of their ethnic backgrounds. It is good for Kenyans to begin to learn that the employer of the civil servants is none other than the Public Service Commission. When you sign the forms for employment, you usually indicate that you can be posted to any part or corner of the Republic. It should be possible within our new Constitutional dispensation to ensure that we achieve a level of maturity and sanity where, when I am posted to Turkana or Lodwar, I go there happily knowing that I shall be received, embraced, appreciated, valued and viewed as one of those persons who deserve to be there."
