    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. This Question relates to the Participatory Poverty Assessment that was done in July, 2005. (a) The research assistants (eight posts) and team leaders (two posts) were selected from a pool of non-successful applicants who had applied for positions in the Kenya Integrated Household Budget Survey (KIHBS) advertised in 2004. The Participatory Poverty Assessment is part of the KIHBS. The organisers felt that we should pick the candidates from there. (b) In Tharaka District, 15 candidates were short listed from the KIHBS applicants. They were interviewed and ranked using a criteria developed for use in the districts that we had identified. The best ten candidates were picked from the 15 candidates. I have a list of the 15 candidates who were interviewed and ranked. The criteria that was followed was age, previous PPA training, level of education, knowledge of English and mother tongue, field work experience, availability over survey period and leadership qualities. Lastly, the ten were Nicholas Gituma, Mark Mwiti Kamui, Rosemary Karoki, Gloria Kawira Kamunge, Japheth Muriithi Nkaabu, Isaiah Mutungi, David Marundi Mwenda, Jotham Mugendi, Reuben Mutegi and Isaac Nthiga. From that list, I note that there is no Odhiambo, Prof. Anyang'-Nyong'o and Mr. Raila. I do not know why the hon. Member has said that we picked those people from elsewhere."
