    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Statement from the Senator for Kakamega County. I want to say that Sen. Malalah has come up with a very commendable Statement that needs to be thoroughly investigated because the Constitution is really keen on issues of affirmative action. You will notice that communities that seem to be large are now seemingly marginalized in terms of positions, for example, in the Public Service. The Committee should carry out an audit and find out the situation in terms of ethnic balancing, jobs and positions so that every community is effectively represented. Mr. Speaker, Sir, even as you talk of representation of communities, they need to ensure that persons living with disabilities are represented effectively, because, yes, they are marginalized, but when it comes to appointments, you will realize that some of them have the necessary qualifications but they are actually left out in the cold. There is need for this Committee to interrogate this issue for the purpose of national integration and ensure that all Kenyans are benefiting from the national cake. Thank you."
