    "content": "move ahead with the proposals done by the KACC Advisory Board as it is currently constituted. Be that as it may, Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is the strong view of the Committee that the Office of the President must act with speed and give effect to proposals from this House with respect to the Advisory Board that had been approved by this House in December, 2008. In any event, the Committee observed that the vacant positions were that of Assistant Director, Finance and Administration and Assistant Director, Investigation and Asset Recovery. In accordance with the provisions of Section 8(3) of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, the Committee scrutinized the qualifications and credentials of the nominees and confirmed that the two were qualified for the positions. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the two nominees are Mr. Wilson Kiprotich Sholei and Dr. John Mutonyi. Dr. Mutonyi holds a PhD, whose thesis was: “Approachings to the Control of Corruption to the Public Procurement Systems in Kenya and Institutional Analysis”. Dr. Mutonyi also holds an MSc in the study of Security Management, which he obtained in 1999. Dr. Mutonyi was the Deputy Director of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) between 2003 and 2004, and held the position for which he is currently being considered between 2004 and 2008. Mr. Wilson Sholei holds a Masters of Business Administration and a Bachelors of Commerce (Accounting Option) from the University of Nairobi. He is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA-K) and a Certified Public Secretary (CPS). Mr. Speaker, Sir, be that as it may, the Committee’s attention was drawn to the salaries obtaining in the KACC currently for the Director and Deputy Directors. While the salaries are set by the Advisory Board according to the law, we are of the view, as a Committee, that the levels of those salaries are unacceptable and inappropriate. In the circumstances, we have sought and gained assurances from the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs that they, indeed, will pick up that matter with the Advisory Board. It is our proposition that if that does not happen, the Committee will then propose amendments to the law to require that the salaries be in line with the realities obtaining in our economy. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee recommends to the House that in conformity to the provisions of Section 8(3) of the Act, the following two nominees be considered and approved for onward transmission to the President to fill in the two vacant positions: 1. Mr. Wilson Kiprotich Sholei for Assistant Director, Finance and Administration; and, 2. Dr. John Mutonyi for Assistant Director, Investigation and Asset Tracing."
