    "content": "In conclusion, the Office of the former Prime Minister had a total of 294 officers from the Public Service, who were serving on permanent and pensionable terms in various cadres. Out of these, only five, as captured in Annex 9; have been transferred or redeployed upon requests by the administrators of their schemes of service. This was done after the release of the new Government structure via Executive Order Nos.1 and 2 of 2013. The hon. Member has asked for specific names. The only five officers who were re-deployed or transferred are one Kipkemei Siongei, who was a Principal Driver. He was transferred to the Ministry of Devolution and Planning on request by the Cabinet Secretary. Hon. Speaker, Sir, Rosemary Outa, a Senior Executive Secretary, who was Personal Secretary to the former Prime Minister, was transferred on personal request, following deployment of Personal Secretaries to the Deputy President. Ms. Emily Ngeny, Senior Personal Secretary, who was Personal Secretary to the former Prime Minister, was also transferred in circumstances similar to those of Rosemary. The Deputy President had his own Personal Secretaries. The fourth officer is Violet Namodi, who was also Personal Secretary to the former Prime Minister. On request by the Ministry of State for Public Service, she was posted to the National Police Service Commission. Lastly, Miss Ann Mburu, who is Deputy Director, Human Resources Management, was posted to the Ministry of Works as the new Executive Office of the Deputy President would have fewer staff members. As of now, she is undergoing training, paid for by the PSC. Therefore, it is not true that the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister effected massive transfers of officers who were serving in the office of the former Prime Minister. On the contrary, it is obvious that the Deputy President had requested the PSC to extend the contracts of those officers. So, contrary to the allegation, nobody has been transferred. Even for those who vacated their offices before the Deputy President assumed office, he asked that their contracts be extended. So, the allegations are baseless. They are based on mischief. Therefore, in our opinion, they are neither here nor there. For purposes of emphasis, no staff member who was serving in the office of the former Prime Minister has been sacked. If there is anyone who has, indeed, been sacked, evidence should be produced. Anyone is free to check out the list. Hon. Speaker, Sir, transfers are effected within the Civil Service in order to enhance service delivery, especially during re-organisation of the Government. The decision to transfer officers from one office to another is based on required skills and competences. The Code of Regulations for Civil Servants provides for transfer of officers from one Ministry or Department to another. I have here with me, the Code of Regulations for Civil Servant, marked “Annex 10”. It gives the Ministry of State for"
