"content": "Having said that and recognising that she is going to handle the Department of Public Service, I want to tell Mary Kimonye, when she gets to this Department, that employment in terms of regional and ethnic balance in this country is a problem. She must deal with it. She cannot remove those who are already in their positions but when vacancies arise, let her use those vacancies to harmonise and bring this country together. We are aware and reports always keep coming of inequality and imbalance in public service. People who are qualified to discharge duties in the public service can be found all over the country: from North Eastern to South Coast, and from West to East. Therefore, if you want to balance ethnicity in this country, you will still get quality and balance at the public service. It is my hope that that is one assignment that Mary Kimonye is going to do. Further, we have been complaining here a lot about ambiguity in terms of classifying regions as hardship and others as non-hardship. There is ambiguity in this area that I think she is going to handle."
