    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the two Permanent Secretaries who were also brought into public service are also public servants. I do not fear mentioning their names. They are already over 55 years of age. They are Dr. Mohammed Isahakia and Dr. James Nyikal. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as to whether we would ensure fairness in future recruitment, there is a major reform exercise which we have commenced in the Public Service, which will make it possible, in future, to ensure that there is merit in recruitment. We want to ensure that retention in the Public Service will be strictly on performance. We also want to provide a portable pension, so that an officer can leave the service at any time and come back at any time in a competitive manner. We will, therefore, be working on a new pension programme, which we will be tabling in future for the consideration of Kenyans and all the public servants. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the issue of recruitment, the Public Service Commission (PSC) is also going to undertake major reforms, including computerization and performance contracts, which will enable us to be able to determine whether they are fair in recruitment. Any suspicion or prejudice should be a thing of the past."
