    "content": "will take this seriously. First, we have commissioned as a Committee in Parliament that the NCIC looks at employment in the counties. In our counties, we have seen many of the counties have become Balkan where you only get a job if you are from a certain ethnicity. We have asked, pursuant to the County Governments Act, that 30 per cent of those who are employed in any county must not come from the dominant community. So, together with the county service boards, the NCIC is conducting a survey to give us a breakdown of everybody who has been employed at the county level. In addition to that, we have also commissioned the NCIC to do a national audit of all those who have been employed in the national Government so that we can proactively and not in a vindictive manner put across measures to ensure that every Kenyan from every community can get an opportunity. We are also working with this Commission to look at other pieces of legislation and how we can strengthen the Act to make sure that these things are done; that when appointments are done and many times we hear, either from the Opposition or anybody saying that this Government has one, two or three communities, that must be backed with an empirical analysis. This is where we can see the names of the people appointed, the counties they are from and their age because we also want the youth. Young people must get opportunities to get jobs at any level. So, that is an analysis that we are expecting."
