    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to support. First of all, the qualifications of these people are unquestionable. I do not want to argue about regional balance because, at the end of the day, we are looking at Kenya where, one day, a committee will be constituted from one village and the same clan. Since they will be competent and we will be thinking of them as Kenyans, we shall accept them as Kenyans. The Constitution that we passed is very clear on the issue of regions. However, we are no longer dealing with regions but with counties. We have 47 counties and I am wondering whether we will be constituting committees of 47 people all the time. It is high time that we lived with the reality that we now have counties and that we have a new Constitution. All that we are arguing about regions and many other things- -- I was browsing the internet last week and read a story about a wolf that was drinking water from the upstream of a brook. When it looked downstream, it saw a lamb and made up its mind that it would turn the lamb into its supper. It came down and asked the lamb why it was muddying its water. The lamb gave a very convincing answer and said; I cannot muddy your water because you are taking your water from up there and I am downstream. The wolf further accused the lamb that, a year ago, it had walked behind the wolf and abused it. The young lamb told the wolf that it was hardly one year old, but it would still apologize to the wolf for the insult. The wolf told the lamb that even if it was not him who abused the wolf, then it was the lamb’s mother. Before it gave any answer, the wolf said that it would not allow the lamb to argue it out of its supper and mauled the lamb. What we are doing here is deceiving Kenyans that we are arguing about regions. However, we know that we are arguing about other things. We should tell"
