    "content": "to bring confusion. We know very well that the Luhyia Community has the Bukusu, Tachoni, Maragoris and many others. When it comes to the Kalenjin Community, we have the Nandi, Sabaots and the Kipsigis. That directive was given in a manner as to mislead. Some sub-tribes were given their own slots. So, there was confusion. We need to have clarification from the Chair as he calls the stakeholders to appear before the Committee; he should bring a report to end this issue of tribalism. A place like Trans Nzoia County is cosmopolitan. We have very many Kisiis in Trans Nzoia and I can see the hon. Commissioner is very excited. When you look at the list, the Kisiis, for instance, did not get anything. The issue of giving directions about tribes is encouraging tribalism. We want people to compete as Kenyans; the moment you give directives that this should go to a certain community and the minority are given the lion’s share is unfair. The Chair should confirm to this House that in regions where there is evidence of corruption, the exercise will be nullified and repeated. Two, as he clearly puts it, the reporting date should be delayed, so that the exercise is done again in a competitive, transparent and accountable manner."
