    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand to second this amendment. I wish to congratulate Sen. Elachi for bringing this important amendment to this House. The other day, the NCIC gave us a damning report about the level of cohesion and the level of integration within the various counties in terms of employment of Kenyans and their ethnicity. That report was very bold. It showed that in many were not adhering to the provision that has been made, that 30 per cent of the staff should be from communities outside the county; the level of counties breaching this law was almost 90 per cent to 99 per cent. I sit in the National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity Committee. One of the things we have resolved to do is to start calling the worst counties in terms of ethnicity to appear before us and explain exactly what happened. I start with this because this is the basis of the problem that we have had in terms of peace building. When you are talking about Kenya, we are talking about one whole Kenya and how it should conduct its business. One of the aspects that have been missing is exactly this component of peace building. The recommended amendment is critical. I will start with the one in Clause 2 that proposes to introduce new terminologies and new descriptions for those particular terminologies. This is important because it brings the element of peace building. You are aware we are moving towards an electioneering period and the issue of peace, cohesion, integration becomes very key and critical. It is not just about attaining peace at The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
