Question No. 004 is addressed to the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture and Livestock Development, and it is in four parts - a) What criteria is used in the appointment and dismissal of Directors and Managing Directors/Chief Executive Officers in State-owned sugar companies in Kenya, and could the Cabinet Secretary outline the requisite qualifications for appointment? b) Could the Cabinet Secretary state the contractual terms and conditions for the appointment of Managing Directors in State-owned sugar companies and also clarify whether they are uniform across all the companies? c) How many recruitment exercises for Managing Directors in State-owned sugar companies have been conducted since 2021? Could the Cabinet Secretary provide the longlist, shortlist and interview schedule with corresponding scores in respect of each of the exercises and disclose the respective reasons for disqualification of candidates because some come third and become the Managing Directors (MDs) effectively? d) What measures has the Government put in place to ensure effective oversight of Boards of Directors of state-owned sugar companies, particularly with regard to the appointment and dismissal of Managing Directors to ensure that they adhere to the principles of good governance, transparency, and accountability? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate."
