    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as stated in Chapter Six, we need to reflect the face of Kenya, fair distribution of the public service jobs and gender parity. This is because whenever they hire, the Constitution talks about the two- thirds gender rule. So, whenever the Government hires people for key positions such as Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries and senior Government positions, it is good to have a balance in gender and ensure that every region is represented. This is because the Civil Service is largely what is used to share the national cake and wherever a senior civil servant has the position of a PS, automatically some benefits spill over to his or her region. If for example he or she is a CS in charge of roads, he or she will ensure that his or her region has roads together with other people who work for him or her mostly because it is human nature to consider yourself first. Similarly, there will be water and many other resources in the country because the budgets are in the hands of those Kenyans. So, it is very important that we balance gender and communities in the country. This is to ensure fairness in resource distribution in the country because those particular jobs are big time resources."
