Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was elected by the people of Marsabit County and I am here to represent them. It was called the Eastern Province before. If I have any grievance, I have to speak out. Everybody in this House and country knows what is happening. We need to have equitable distribution of resources, including jobs. What I have noticed and realized is that when this particular advert was put out there, it had some conditions. Later on - and I have said this before - in order to help someone who was not earlier there, they changed some ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am concluding. Everyone in this country knows what is happening even our Parliamentarians who are here today know that. It is not news to us and moving forward, we need to look at all regions equitably.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, their place is not in advising, but in going to old people homes to stay there, relax and enjoy themselves. This Motion has brought heated debate, but I would like to say that the people of Marsabit are not happy. They must know that someone who has been acting in that position for many years has been denied that opportunity and someone else from somewhere was given that opportunity under circumstances that need to be investigated. I, therefore, oppose this Motion. I thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir.

Secretaries, if not the number one in this country. Let me also take this opportunity to thank the Director General of KWS, who is here today. The recent recruitment by KWS was the best recruitment ever. You are aware, these days if you are recruited by the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) or the police service, you pay something ‘ kidogo’ . However, the recruitment in Marsabit was done above board. Let me say thank you very much for that. Madam Temporary Speaker, there is an issue in Marsabit about claims. There is an old man called Boroufa Kansab who lost ...
