    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I congratulate Sen. Malalah for raising this issue. Those who have walked the journey of reform know that we have been looking at the ways and means of having one Kenya that recognizes diversity and plurality of origin, belief and colour. The answer is almost out there that the Committee will find out that there is no even distribution of opportunities. More importantly, I would like the Community to look at how to solve this problem. The Constitution and other documents are very clear as to what we should have in this country. We are likely to find statistics indicating imbalance in terms of opportunities available to our people but what solutions are we going to get? So, this Committee, which has been given a very heavy responsibility, should look at what kind of solution would be sustainable and work for this nation. It should also look at what kind of sanctions should be put in place for those who violate this very sacred fabric of our nation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, lastly, in this Statement, there is no clear mention of inclusion of gender. We are only talking about ethnic and regional balance, whereas it is important to also look at gender. This is because in our gender, lies a lot of potential that is being overlooked but is being overtaken and ignored, yet that is where the future lies."
