    "content": "(Mr. ole Metito): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will start with the one that was requested by Dr. Khalwale because it is straightforward. On Tuesday, 25th September, Dr. Khalwale rose on a point of order and requested my Ministry to issue a Ministerial Statement to clarify who is the chief for Kiminda Location in Nandi Central District and whether there are two chiefs for Kiminda Location. I wish to state as follows: The appointment of chiefs and assistant chiefs is done through the authority delegated to the Permanent Secretary who is the authorized officer for this purpose by the Public Service Commission. To facilitate the appointment of chiefs and assistant chiefs, the Permanent Secretary has mandated the District Commissioners to constitute panels to interview candidates when such vacancies occur and recommend three qualified candidates from whom the Permanent Secretary picks one. The recommendation of the District Commissioner is forwarded to the Permanent Secretary through the Provincial Commissioner. This process is strictly adhered to in the appointment of chiefs and assistant chiefs. In the case of Kiminda Location, the advertisement for chief, Kiminda Location, was done on 7th September, 2009 vide District Commissioner’s office, Nandi Central, Data Ref. ST1/8/24. Interviews were conducted on 13th January, 2010, by a panel consisting of the District Commissioner, Senior District Officer, District Officer, Kiriboni Division, Executive Officer and District Human Resource Officer. The interview’s instrument for appointment of Chief II, Kiminda Location, Nandi Central District, Rift Valley Province, was forwarded to the Permanent Secretary vide the Provincial Commissioner letter Ref. No.SRST/1/3/5 dated 29th January, 2010. Shortly thereafter, it was established that Mr. Stephen Tum, the successful candidate had presented a fake certificate of Diploma in Human Resource, purportedly obtained from the Chester Institute of Science and Technology. Mr. Stephen Tum was arrested and charged with making a document without authority contrary to Section 357 of the Penal Code, vide Police Criminal 771/293/20010. The case file No.4110/2010 is pending before the Kapsabet court. On 30th March, 2010, Mr. Stephen Tum wrote a signed apology letter to the District Commissioner, Nandi Central, for having presented a fake certificate during the interview. Following this development, the Provincial Commissioner in his letter of 14th April, 2010, commended the revocation of appointment of Mr. Stephen Tum or Steve Tum, Kiminda Location. The same was effected by the Permanent Secretary vide the letter dated 25th May, 2010."
