    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, looking at the table of response in terms of figures, I want to thank the Chairperson for the transparency. In this answer, Kakamega County, the biggest rural county in Kenya, with a population of two million people, has returned the highest number of complaints after Nairobi. Nairobi has 52 and Kakamega has 44. They are closely followed by Bungoma which is also the third-largest in population, which has 34 complaints. The intention of the recruitment was to attempt to correct the imbalance within the police force as per ethnicity and, therefore, this answer. Could the Chairperson tell us what the current percentages are as per the ethnic communities of Kenya within the police force that you are now correcting? Mr. Speaker, Sir, more importantly, these statistics are a big statement on the Inspector General (IG) of the Police. This is because in this list, they have decided to hoodwink this Senate by not telling us how many Kalenjins have been recruited. The highest is 13.95 per cent from the Kikuyu community, followed by Kambas at 7.9 per cent and Luhyas at 7.6 per cent. That is very well. However, the one of Kalenjins, Kimaiyo has broken it down and given us the Nandi, Kipsigis, Tugen, Keiyo, Marakwet and Sabaot. When you now make the cumulative of these Kalenjin sub-tribes, you will find that the Kalenjins got a whopping 17.02 per cent. What is more, the Kikuyus and Kalenjins who are leading everybody are hogging an entire 30.1 per cent of the recruits of the Republic of Kenya. Could the Chairperson tell us what the Government is going to do, as a disciplinary measure against the IG, for ensuring that a whopping 17 per cent went only to his community, not even caring that Mr. Kavuludi who is the Chairman comes from the Luhya community and did not try to hawk any percentage? This list must be cancelled. You people want to destroy the nation that we call Kenya. If you are building Kenya, you cannot do what you are doing."
