    "content": "other Principal Secretaries. It will be better if they adhere, as early as possible, to the provisions of Article 75(1) of the Constitution which provides as follows and this must be made clear to all public servants and State officers: “A State officer shall behave, whether in public and official life, in private life, or in association with other persons, in a manner that avoids– (a) any conflict between personal interests and public or official duties. (b) compromising any public or official interest in favour of a personal interest, or (c) demeaning the office the officer holds.” It is very important that all the people who are vetted and those who are in key positions in public service and State offices must comply with Article 75(1) of the Constitution. On public service, and I want to make it very clear, the Public Service Commission (PSC), for example, does all the interviews and public appointments and they must comply with gender, regional and ethnic diversities of our country. If you look at some of the Committee sittings, and Hon. Jimmy Angwenyi was sharing with me, you will find a Cabinet Secretary coming to face a Committee accompanied by five officers who are from one ethnic community. This is very shameful. That is not the Kenya that we are all talking about that we want to build."
