"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am doing this with a heavy heart. I would have wished that I did not have to do it. But now that I have been challenged, I would like to state that during the tenure of the hon. Member, there were three employees, namely, Eric Ponda, Stephen Mrima and Alfred Kiti who were hired on grounds that were not exactly straight. Eric Ponda was a former fuel pump attendant at KBC. He was taken to the newsroom on tribal basis, being a person from his village. Previously, he had numerous disciplinary cases, among them loss of fuel, absenteeism in the newsroom and incompetence. Stephen Mrima was retrenched on account of absenteeism over a long period of time. Previously, he had several disciplinary cases. Thirdly, Alfred Kiti was a former driver to the hon. Member when he was Managing Director. Mr. Khamisi transferred the driver to the newsroom and designated him as News Editor. Since he was unable to cope with journalistic duties, he was retrenched on account of incompetence. Again, I regret that I had to do that."
