    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, the following is the criteria that was used in terminating employment of 162 employees of the Pyrethrum Board of Kenya (PBK) in August this year. (i) Basic professional and academic qualifications of each employee was assessed, (ii) The length of service based on the principle of first in, first out or last in, first out, (iii) Age was a criteria where majority of the employees who were beyond the 45 year age were considered for retrenchment. Those rendering services that were earmarked for outsourcing were also targets of retrenchment because it was considered prudent that there would be no need for employees to continue being on the payroll in the case where some of the services could be outsourced. (iv) Disciplinary cases: We had employees who had various disciplinary cases and this became a ground for assessing the individuals who would be retrenched. (v) Competency based on recent appraisal of or by the immediate supervisor. There is a continuous exercise of appraisal and individuals that were considered below average in the performance of their responsibilities were considered for retrenchment."
