Mr. Speaker, Sir, because we talked when we were campaigning that we, people from small tribes â me, myself, being one of them; even if you take the side of my mother, the Taita and the Pokomo, the side of my father, we will still not make a clan from one of the big tribes. I am saying; how do we rationalize? How do we include the people from the small tribes into the offices of Government? We have been marginalized, excluded and forgotten in many places.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want the Prime Minister to really understand that we need proper change. We want to see something tangible. Is he rationalizing ambassadorial positions? You know all these board memberships that are coming up. Is he rationalizing? Has he asked for these departments that are controlling the Government â the Treasury, the military, the offices that are important â where are we? We want to ask the Prime Minister that if he can call all the departments of the Government to start implementing regional and ethnic balancing and rationalization of the Civil Service, has he done that?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, even as he is doing that, the networks of friends and relatives in these places, please, Mr. Prime Minister, we want tangible administrative changes even as Parliament is doing legislative changes.

Finally, Mr. Speaker, Sir, there has been a different interpretation between the office of the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs on the new Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission. We are worried, as Parliament and even Kenyans when we see there is a disconnect in terms of interpretation. Can he assure us that they are going to work together so that we can respond to what he is saying; that we need to work together and push together to make sure that the new Constitution is implemented properly?

I have always wondered; in the event this House fails to implement, we are told that we can actually be sent home. I do not know whether the Prime Minister has thought about this. What happens? If we are sent home in the unlikely event, does the next Parliament have five years? How does it operate? I think there are things that you might need to think about and tell us your opinion.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the problem of failing to post a District Registrar of Persons is not only restricted to Samburu East District. Even where the Assistant Minister has posted them, he has failed to transfer the votes from the original districts to the newly established districts. I want him to investigate why it has not been established how many people should be registered in the Tana Delta District Registrar of Persons but whose vote is still in Hola. Could he undertake to transfer the vote to the Tana Delta District Registrar of Persons to enable him to perform?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister saying that he will not give AIEs to the Tana Delta District in Garsen or what is he saying? He needs to come out clear.
