    "content": "Committee in that hearing happened to come from the same community as the nominee who said that he does not know them personally. It is not a bad thing. I imagine if the nominee was a Kisii, the friends of the Committee who would have come, based on our practice as a people, would likely be from that same community. If the nominee was a Luhya, those who would have come would likely be from that community. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we asked the nominee to give an affirmation to the country that, one, he does not look at this country through the lenses of tribe. Secondly, even if people will try to put him in that cocoon he will not accept. He gave us an affirmation and confirmation. This is because in this country today, it is important--- Sen. Olekina might not be tribal. However, if he gets certain positions, his people will coalesce around him and try to make him in that direction. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the Vice Chairperson of this Committee, I know the structures that are in the police. We have departments in our NPS. In certain departments, if the IG of Police is from a certain community, they fill the positions with people from their community and if the Deputy (IG) of Police is from a certain community, they will fill the positions from their community. It is not just them but even us."
