    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I have a Statement to read that was sought by the Member for Migori, hon. Junet Mohamed on transfers and deployment of staff at the Office of the Deputy President. Hon. Speaker, Sir, the office of the former Prime Minister was created in 2008 with a broad mandate of coordination and supervision of the execution of the functions and affairs of the Government as per the National Accord and Reconciliation Act of 2008. Upon establishment of the office a number of officers were drawn both from public and the private sector to help the office fulfill its mandate. Those that were drawn from the Public Service were appointed by the Public Service Commission on local agreement terms to serve during the tenure of the office of the former Prime Minister while those serving officers in the Public Service were deployed from various Ministries. Hon. Speaker, Sir, from the outset I would like to inform this House that following the inauguration of the new Government on 9th April, 2013 the Office of the Prime Minister ceased to exist as per the Accord. Therefore, the terms of service of some of the officers who were serving on contract pegged on the Prime Minister’s tenure expired as per the engagement by the Public Service Commission. A total of 23 officers first exited the service on that date. I have Annex One showing the names of 23 officers. The first one is Mr. Caroli Amondi who was the Private Secretary. The others are Ceasar Ochieng Asiyo, the Director of Coordination; Irene Achieng Oloo, the Chief Social Secretary; Denis Base Onyango, Assistant Director, Public Communication; Jane Wangui Muringi, Youth Advisor; and so on. I beg to table the list. Hon. Speaker, Sir, the 23 officers exited even before the Deputy President assumed office of the former Prime Minister on 11th April, 2013. However, some of those whose contracts were ongoing beyond the tenure of the Prime Minister were retained. Those drawn from the Public Service transited to the new administration and have been accommodated into the new structure of the Presidency."
