    "content": "service; where 80 per cent comprises one ethnicity, it leaves a lot of questions for national cohesion. Once that commission is in place, we will also ask it to update Parliament and give us the status of all appointments, in terms of region and ethnicity. This Bill is very timely. We want to ensure that the recruitment and vetting is done as soon as possible. Even as we appoint commissioners in this commission, we want you to take cognisance of the fact that there is diversity, ethnicity and other factors. I am sure going forward, we will in future ask Parliament to change the Act to say that appointments to the boards of parastatals shall have vetting of Parliament, so that sometimes when we see that there is irregularity and unconstitutionality, we can reject it on the Floor of the House. There is a lot of irregularity in those appointments. For example, the entire Board of the Postal Corporation of Kenya comprises of only one ethnic community. Will they transact business in their mother tongue? What happens in that kind of situation? Parliament cannot say that we approve or disapprove the people who were appointed because it is not in our mandate. It is completely wrong."
