    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reason why we were unable to recruit the 480 staff was due to the fact that many applicants did not meet the qualifications we were looking for. First, we were looking for a holder of a KCSE certificate with a mean grade of C Minus and also someone who has a diploma in aquaculture or crab fisheries technology. It was very difficult for us to get this kind of people. That is why, out of the 480 that the Ministry intended to recruit, we only managed to recruit 287. What we have advised the Public Service Commission (PSC) is to see if it can sort of vary and review the qualifications, so that we can get more young people applying. Thereafter, we can take them through training, so that they can qualify and take control of this particular project. Mr. Speaker, Sir, aquaculture is a new venture in this country. Therefore, if we are going to be very strict on the requirements for one to be able to come in, we may actually hit a snag. That is why we have already advised the PSC, if they can review these particular qualifications, so that we can recruit the remaining number within this financial year."
