    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have said that this debate is so important, so much so that if you throw a stone to a population the probability— those that have done statistics— of that stone hitting a member of the populous population among the community is very high. I have also stated that population is reflected even in the mortuary. Population must also be reflected in various departments, if you want to be serious with this debate. I also want to say that we have a 30 per cent rule in the counties. Seventy per cent is supposed to come from the county itself. So, the issue of some populations being overemployed in the county should not arise if the Constitution is well adhered to. So, I also want to say that if we want to have a closed country where people do not work across the counties then we are going to develop a very dangerous country. We need people to move around, be deployed in Mombasa, Lamu, Nyeri, and Kirinyaga. We need to cross-breed skills and promote movement in the country, settlement in the country and even marriage within the country so that we can have a healthier and much more informed country that we desire to have. With those few remarks, I once again want to support this Bill with the amendment that whenever we report, we must also include the percentage of population in those reports so that people can make a fair judgment as to whether people have been marginalised or not."
