    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to oppose this Motion. This Motion is unconstitutional because the Constitution is very clear under Article 232(1)(h) that the values and principles of public service shall include, among others, representation of Kenya’s diverse communities. That is the letter of the Constitution. Article 232(1)(i) states:- “The values and principles of public service include- (i) affording adequate and equal opportunities for appointment, training and advancement, at all levels of the public service, of- (i) men and women; (ii) the members of all ethnic groups; and (iii) persons with disabilities. I have never understood why in this country, when you have seven opportunities to appoint Kenyans, it is not possible to spread them across the seven corners of this country. I cannot understand. We keep going back to the same areas. These Motions keep insinuating that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
