    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, the other day when we were vetting one of the Principal Secretaries for one of the ministries, our Leader of the Majority Party said that he was shocked in the way some ministries just employ their clansmen yet his office reflects the entire face of the country. According to Article 232 of the Constitution, that is how we are supposed to do. Right now, people are moving round talking about the BBI to raise concerns that all Kenyans should be one thing simply because people have gone the tribal way. If somebody is given a mandate, he makes sure that all his tribesmen are given positions before giving chances to other tribes. This amendment would bring sanity to public service, so that every year reports are submitted just the way reports from parastatals are submitted to the Public Accounts Committee or the Public Investments Committee. There will also be submission of reports from the human resource office to one of the committees here in Parliament, so that Members can do their oversight role. With that, we can see who is messing up with Article 232 and failing to unite our country. The amendment is self-explanatory. I do not need to talk much. I am calling on my colleague, Hon. Paul, Member of Parliament for Rongo Constituency, to second."
