    "content": "(Mr. Oparanya): Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to issue a Ministerial Statement on the issue. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there were three categories of staff who were recruited. We have 5,000 senior supervisors, 22,000 supervisors and 118,000 enumerators. This makes a total of 145,000 officers. The terms of engagement are that the senior supervisors will be engaged for 30 days, 21 days for supervisors and 15 days for enumerators. We advertised for these positions and a total of 800,000 people applied out of which 145,000 were selected. The requirements for senior supervisors were that they must have a Masters Degree or be a head of department within the Government. For supervisors, they should have a degree or be principals of secondary or primary schools or teachers with long experience. The requirements for enumerators were that they should, at least, have a C minus. Each senior supervisor will be paid Kshs2,500 per day and an allowance of Kshs3,000 per day if he or she uses his or her vehicle for the 30 days. Each supervisor will be paid Kshs2,000 per day while enumerators will be paid Kshs1,500 per day. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there were complaints of irregulaties in recruitment. Some of these cases were brought to my attention and the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics. Some of these problems were sorted out on case to case basis. Up to now, we still have some complaints. We have directed the Districts Census Committee to make sure that these issues are sorted out before the census day. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir."
