"content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. As I said earlier, there is benefit in reading. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., has stood up and become so poetic about what the Committee should have done yet he has not read the Report. The names of the eight people he is asking for are in the report. Madam Deputy Speaker, I know the work I have done in this House for the past three years is unimpeachable. Without having looked at the specifics in the Report, it is unfair. First, there were 56 employees of the Ewaso Ng’iro North Development Authority (ENNDA). The Ministry together with ENNDA acknowledged the fact that for a long time, ENNDA had serious Human Resource (HR) issues. In fact, the CEO and the Board are new. When they came in, they started the process of rationalizing the staff. The 56 advertisements were not external. So, when a Senator stands up and says somebody is firing people to hire their cronies, from where? Out of the 56, 50 applied for the advertised positions. One applied for unadvertised positions that are not there. Five did not apply. Out of the 56, 42 were reinstated. Maybe the language used is wrong, but I do not see how you would have wanted us, as Senate, to say you must hire this specific person. They were absorbed. The names of the eight that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. is asking for are in the Report. You need to read the whole Report because the names are there."
