    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it may assist if I explain a bit about the scheme of service. The scheme of service of chiefs and assistant chiefs was ready for implementation with effect from 1st July, 2006. It establishes three grades of assistant chiefs and five grades of chiefs. For assistant chiefs, they start as Assistant Chief II, Job Group F. The salary scale is, therefore, that attached to Job Group F. Assistant Chief II is Job Group G. Senior Assistant Chief II is Job Group H. Those are the Job Groups and scales for the assistant chiefs. As for the chiefs, they start as Chief II, that is, Group H. Chief I is in Job Group J. Senior Chief II is Job Group K while Senior Chief I is in Job Group L. The Principal Chief is in Job Group M. With regard to age, the assistant chiefs should be 35 years old. For chiefs, there is also a direct entry. Direct appointment is made in the case of Assistant Chief II and Chief I, that is, Job Group F and H respectively as I have explained. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the minimum qualification for an assistant chief's position is Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) mean grade C (Plain) or its equivalent, with at least C in English or Kiswahili. For chiefs, the minimum qualification is KCSE mean grade C+ or its equivalent with at least C in English or Kiswahili. In addition to the minimum qualification, the chief, at entry point, is supposed to have a professional qualification, which is a diploma in either teaching, community development, disaster management, social development and counselling. These standards are in conformity with other standards that apply to other civil servants across the board. The age is 30 years at entry."
