• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have tabled a list here. I was provoked by the hon. Questioner to state whether there are some communities who do not qualify to be appointed to 2718 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 15, 2008 Water Boards. I have answered in the affirmative; that members of all communities in this country qualify to be appointed. You have the advantage of going through the list that I have tabled to see that the country is fully represented. I want to confirm that members of all communities in this country, be they Ogiek, Luo or Kikuyu, qualify to be ... view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe that qualified Kenyans should get jobs anywhere in the country. I agree with him that appointments are nowadays made according to the regions. The other day, Mr. Ethuro brought a Question here asking why some drivers had been taken out of Turkana to be employed elsewhere. We must, as Members of Parliament, come up with a decision to appoint the best qualified Kenyans. From the Ministry of Education to every level of this Government, we should remove the quota system so that the best qualified Kenyans can be employed anywhere in the country. view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member that drivers are of low cadre, but teachers are not of a low cadre, whatsoever. We need to look at these levels from the Chief Executive to a particular level and agree, as a House, from which level we should encourage competitiveness. But at the level of the drivers, I agree that we should have an affirmative action. However, we should embrace the spirit of competing for jobs across the country, so that our offices are occupied by qualified people. view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the list that I have tabled of about 24 people, there are two people from North Eastern Province. However, I agree with the hon. Member that there are some communities with very few people who are qualified for these jobs and they should be considered and given a chance. view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had not finished. I agree that there are some communities with very few qualified people, and they should be considered, especially when they are very qualified. We can even send them back home to work there because they have the interest of the community at heart. I want to inform the hon. Member that we advertise for these jobs and we pick the most qualified people. For the last three weeks, we have been advertising for Chief Executives in the newspapers. In case there are areas which we have not complied with, I want to ... view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will agree with me that I have answered the Question comprehensively. Mr. Sirma is contented that the appointments are balanced. If the other Question is asked rightly, I can then come with the correct information. It is a different Question. view
• 15 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have noted the content of this Motion and I have the following to say. First of all, I agree with the hon. Member that the Government owes its citizens a duty of care. The citizens of Budalangi are citizens of this country. I also sympathise with them because we have been reading and have witnessed the floods taking place in Budalangi. Much as floods are all over the country, we appreciate that the magnitude at Budalangi is high compared to the other areas in the country. At the same time, the Government has tried its ... view
