These are Tips Management Services Ltd, Manpower Ltd, Forbes Global, Hawkins and Associates Ltd, East African Resources and Training Institute, International Development Partners East Africa, Personnel Resource. A committee of four was formed, chaired by Daniel Kesa to select one of the firms that was going to do the recruitment process, and Manpower Ltd was selected. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, when the Committee said that this should be opened up to many Kenyans--- The 152 applicants who applied from within and outside Kenya is not a small number. It has been done to a wider group and I also want to point out that---"
