    "content": "In summary there were four categories of staff in the former office of the former Prime Minister. The first category comprised those whose contracts were tied to the tenure of the former Prime Minister under a local agreement. This comprises the 23 officers I have talked about and their names are in Annex One. The second category comprises those whose contracts were slightly longer than the tenure of the former Prime Minister and under local agreement. They are four of them and their names are under Annex two. The four officers are still in office and are serving the Deputy President. They are: Silvester Okumu Kasuku, Job Group T; Dr. Rachel Kemunto Gesami, Secretary, Policy Coordination, Job Group T; Mumbi Gitau Kiereni, Private Sector Specialist, Job Group R; and Nanok Tutui, Agricultural Specialist. The third category comprises those who were on temporary terms of service. They were 40 in number and they are still at the Office of the Deputy President. This is shown under Annex Three. The fourth and final category comprises of public service employees who are permanent and pensionable. They are 304 of them. The list is attached under Annex Four. This country has shifted to a Presidential System of governance. The Presidency is comprised of the Office of the President and the Office of the Deputy President. In restructuring the Government, the President has created the Executive Office of the President and the Executive Office of the Deputy President to include and enhance the functions normally done by State House and to take over some of the functions hereto undertaken by the abolished office of the former Prime Minister and Vice-President. The mandate of the former Prime Minister’s Office and that of the former Vice- President were different from that of the Presidency. The structure and functions are fundamentally different. This means, therefore, that there is need to recruit officers with relevant skills and competencies to complement the already existing structure. So, far three officers have been taken on board to serve in the position of Chief of Staff, Private Secretary and Secretary, Communications in the Office of the Deputy President. This is shown in Annex 5. The officers are Ms. Marianne Kitany, who is the Chief of Staff; Mr. Rueben Maiyo, who is the Private Secretary and Mr. David Mugonyi, who is the Secretary, Communications. The list is marked “Annex 5”."
