    "content": "The other is about gender. I noticed the gender bit was being used in my county, but it was not very well done. The fact was that there were too few women who applied for the jobs. Men were recruited. It took a long time to look for somebody. That is why I like what other people have contributed here and said, that we need to include people who come from other regions so that if you fail to get a woman in my county, it is easier to get one from another county over there to come and take the job. That will encourage more women to get jobs, not necessarily women from that county. The other was regional balance. What is emerging is that in the counties, because there are many constituencies, people begin to argue that this or that constituency is not represented. That is like a tribal issue although you speak the same language in the county of question. People are beginning to regionalise those jobs. Maybe, it is a good thing or not. In the other way, it might end up being ethnic in the sense that you are fighting for positions within your county, but looking at different constituencies. It is quite a challenge. There is the element of integrity which is not coming out strongly. The integrity of those looking for employment is vital. You do not just need a police abstract. We need letters of three referees. Normally, three referees would normally write a letter recommending one for a job. We need to take these letters very seriously and call where a person has worked before. That is so that we know whether that person left that job in a good way and he can be employed in this The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
