    "content": "Prof. Njuguna Ndung'u): Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me start with the first question. I will go to the detailed response. Mr. Moran Kenson Ekaran, holder of ID No.34333532, was invited for the on-boarding assessment at the Recruits Training School, Eldoret. He presented himself for the assessment on 20th June 2023. Upon conclusion of the assessment, Mr. Ekaran was not cleared to undertake the training as he was found unfit to undergo the Revenue Service Assistant Training Programme. Mr. Ekaran returned on 22nd June 2023 where he was again not on-boarded on the basis of the 20th June 2023 medical assessment by the KDF medical doctor. Mr. Ekaran was, therefore, not offered a chance to train as a Revenue Service Assistant (RSA) as he did not succeed in the medical assessment. The allegation that he was dismissed after three days of training is, therefore, not true. We relied on the expert’s opinion, but we will do a further follow-up. Mr. Jacob Nakali Etiir of ID No.40343341 was dismissed on 15th August 2023 after eight weeks of training. The offer to train as a Revenue Service Assistant given to the recruits was subject to a successful on-boarding assessment and subsequent background checks, among other conditions. Mr. Jacob Etiir, who had been successfully on-boarded for the training, was found to have provided false information upon conclusion of the background checks regarding the Police Clearance Certificate which was submitted as part of the required documents. Following a report dated 26th July 2023 of Reference No. DCI/CRO/SEC/6/7/2/A/Vol. XIII/33 by the DCI that the Police Clearance Certificate submitted by Mr. Etiir was not genuine, the Authority invoked the provision of Clause 5 of the Offer Letter on the requirement for satisfactory background checks to terminate the offer for Mr. Etiir to train as a Revenue Service Assistant. The termination was in line with Clause 6.1.2.1.4 of the KRA Code of Conduct, which classifies giving false information as gross misconduct. I will follow up with further investigations following what the Member has said, but the information may be related to the report that the DCI provided."
