    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for Daktari Khalwale, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware of an upsurge of crime in Kiminda Location in Nandi Central as a result of the alleged controversy over the appointment of the chief of Kiminda Location. I am talking about Nandi Central. However, I am aware that on 13th January, 2010, interviews for the post of chief, Kiminda Location were carried out. Mr. Stephen Tum, who was among the applicants emerged the best candidate. The interview results together with the academic qualifications of the best two candidates were forwarded to the Provincial Commissioner, Rift Valley, for further action. Mr. Tum’s documents indicated that he was an A level graduate and a holder of a diploma in Human Resource Management from Chester Institute of Science and Technology. This gave him preference over Mrs. Priscilla Meto whose documents indicated that she had the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education Division II and a teacher’s certificate. Mr. Stephen Tum was, therefore, notified of this and was advised to await appointment. However, before the appointment letter was released, information was recovered that the diploma certificate submitted by Mr. Tum was forged and the DCIO, Nandi North was asked to investigate the allegations. The allegations were authenticated and Mr. Tum was arrested and charged with making a document without authority contrary to Section 357(a) of the Penal Code vides police criminal case No.771/293/2010. The case is pending before court in Kapsabet. The position of the chief, Kiminda Location was, therefore, readvertized and after interviews, Mrs. Priscilla Meto emerged as the best candidate and was appointed as the chief of the area on 5th October, 2010 vide appointment letter No.CON4/7/142 dated 5th October, 2010. Since the appointment of the chief, no serious criminal incidences have been reported to suggest an upsurge in crime in Kiminda Location as alleged by the hon. Member. This is Kiminda Location in Nandi Central. (b) There has been no serious crime incidences reported in the area except for a few petty offences which are, however, under control. Those are the real facts that we have in the file."
