    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration regarding the adherence to the principles of meritocracy, transparency, fairness and equal opportunity in recruitments at the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK), particularly in the recruitment of the Director General of the Authority. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Explain the recruitment process for the Director General (DG) position at CAK, outlining the steps taken so far in the recruitment of the DG and the corresponding timelines. (2) Disclose details of the tendering process for the procurement of recruitment services for the DG position, explaining the rationale for the award of the tender to ACAL Consulting. (3) Report on the fairness of the recruitment process, explaining the failure of the Authority to provide feedback to candidates as well as publish the longlist and shortlist. (4) Confirm claims of conflict of interest, secrecy or bias in the recruitment process, and if so, remedial action taken. (5) Clarify whether the Public Service Commission is actively monitoring the recruitment process to ensure it aligns with the principles of meritocracy, transparency, fairness and equal opportunity. (6) Outline measures put in place to ensure that the recruitment process is conducted in a transparent and fair manner without favouritism or bias and is insulated from undue influence. I also have another statement, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
