    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is very important that we create this training institution where directors will belong. It is also important that we look for ways of making parastatals work properly for this country. That way, they will benefit farmers and people in other sectors where each parastatal serves. We must also ensure that the regulations that are used in appointing directors are made clear so that even if one is to be appointed politically, we can have people who are qualified to run parastatals. Another issue that a member touched lightly is that State parastatals have been turned into tribal companies even though another member disputed that fact. I am happy for Hon. ole Kaparo, who came up with a condemnation list on how State parastatals have been turned into tribal companies. I am not happy that if you look at almost every parastatal, you will see that there is a certain community which occupies between 80 and 50 per cent of the employment places against the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. It is not good to try and justify that scenario by saying that we should look at the percentages of those communities in the Republic. We do not care whether you are 50 per cent. Being 50 per cent of the population of the Republic does not mean that you should occupy 50 per cent of the positions that are available. Some of these people are not even ashamed because they occupy the presidency. They want to occupy all the other employment slots that go down with it. Why not allow other communities to occupy the rest? What is the purpose of being the President? You want to be the President, the 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."
