    "content": "the KAA, Mr. Martin Wambora; the then Managing Director, Mr. George Muhoho; the Ag. Managing Director, Mr. Mathew Wamalwa and the Procurement Manager, Mr. Allan Muturi. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the objectives of considering the matter was that the KAA is a public institution and, therefore, should at all times serve public interest as well as observe the principle of fairness, transparency and accountability, and that all qualified Kenyans should be accorded a fair and equal opportunity to hold positions in the public service and this extends the opportunity to compete for these positions in a fair and transparent manner by according a level playing field to all. During the inquiry, we were informed that the then Managing Director placed an advert in the newspapers for the appointment of a new Managing Director without the knowledge of the Board. On 2nd the Board met and in the process of introducing the new Chairman to the Board, the Managing Director informed the Board members that in a previous Board meeting the members had deliberated on the appointment of a new Managing Director. But the Board members indicated that they were not aware of such a meeting having been held. It was then resolved by the Board that another meeting be held on 3rd in which the matter of the appointment of the Managing Director would be discussed. The meeting was held on 3rd and the Board decided to restart the process of sourcing for a new Managing Director. In the meantime, they directed that the earlier advertisement be cancelled and a new one placed. A new advertisement was placed in the newspapers on 10th February and they amended a bit of the earlier advertisement by inserting a new requirement. For that purpose, I would like to table the first advertisement dated 27th January and the one of 10th February where a new condition was inserted in regarding the requirement of knowledge of public sector as a necessary requirement. That was not in the first advertisement."
