    "content": "that the fight against corruption will be won after a real struggle. However, that is not how I wish to proceed. The President had 108 paragraphs when he addressed us. In a short period of 15 minutes, I cannot manage to respond to each of them as I want to. However, in its entirety, it was a good Speech, bold and forward looking. We hope that the President will match every word with action as Kenyans of good expectation and goodwill expect. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will, therefore, go straight to only three paragraphs which the President spoke to and which I want to comment on. The first one is paragraph 71. The President said that drawing on our history and recognising the dangers of disunity, our Constitution, in Article 10, spells out the value of national unity, inclusivity and cohesion as fundamental to our national character. He went on and told the nation that he condemns our county governments for promoting ethnicity. He fell short of acknowledging that if anybody is supposed to be blamed for ethnicity, President Uhuru and his Deputy are number one. They should be condemned. As the President assembled his ideas about ethnicity, a small group of young people also assembled statistics of how the President has hired people in the Jubilee Government. I want to table for the consumption of the President – because we have been challenged many times – a 22-page document prepared by our patriotic youth from the university, who are on the streets tarmacking, showing tribalism within the Jubilee Government; starting with the Office of the President, right up to the other Chief Executive Officers (CEOs). They have not gone to the small jobs. Just with a bird’s eye view, page 1 has got 31 senior positions and there is no interruption apart from one Somali called Khadija Kassachoon who is a Principal Secretary. Page 2, again, is not interrupted apart from a Turkana by the name Ekwee Ethuro, who is the Speaker of this Senate, and so on and so forth. I wish to table the document as proof and want to be challenged."
