I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Public Service. Following the disbandment of the Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK) as a result of the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill by Parliament on 16th December, 2008, the ECK staff were sent on compulsory leave through a circular from the Office of the President that denied those employees even an opportunity to pick their private available items from their offices."}
