    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to demand two Ministerial Statements. One is from the Ministry of State for Defence pertaining to the recruitment of cadets that was done on 12th October, 2007 at Makindu in Kibwezi District. Several recruits, both men and women, attended the recruitment at Makindu on 12th October, 2007. The district has about six divisions. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on that material day, those who were recruiting dismissed people from other divisions, including Kilome and Kasikeu. They were told they could not offer themselves for recruitment in Kibwezi District. I stand to demand from the Minister the following:- (i) Why were people from other divisions, other than Kilome Division, sent away without a reason? (ii) Why did the Ministry decide to discriminate on the recruitment? STATUS OF CONTRACT OF ATHI WATER SERVICES BOARD CEO Mr. Speaker, Sir, secondly, I rise to demand a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Water and Irrigation on the issue of the Chief Executive of the Athi Water Services Board (AWSB), whose contract lapsed last month on 30th September, 2007. I understand that the Minister said he could not renew the contract because the chief executive has been acting illegally by drawing an illegal salary of Kshs556,000, contrary to the Board's recommendation of Kshs380,000. Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister explain the illegal contract which was being executed by the former Chief Executive of ASWB?"
