    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to add my voice to support the Petition by the citizens of Machakos that they should be treated right and with respect. Those of us who are grey in the head remember a time when this country employed people based on their credentials and what they got in school. There is a trend going round in the country and it is taking us downwards, by the fact that in several counties people are given jobs based on their political inclinations and who they supported in the elections. This trend cannot push Kenya forward or develop Kenya because we are going to get people with dubious credentials, unable to think and project issues to bigger scales. Development will be affected because they do not know what to do and are sitting there waiting for their salaries. Bundling out people who may have been qualified and worked diligently is not fair at all. It is up to us, the Senators, to set the rules so that everybody in the country and all counties can be treated fairly. This is so that they get what they deserve. I support the Petition."
