    "content": "In that respect, the post of Director of Survey and Deputy Director of Survey are still vacant and will be filled substantively by the PSC in due course. The officers who were deployed to occupy the offices are doing so in an acting capacity. On the reasons why the PSC was not involved in the appointments, the Cabinet Secretary stated that substantive appointments had not been done and will be done by the PSC in the normal manner. On whether the appointments were done in line with the Government policy of reducing the wage bill, the Cabinet Secretary stated that the deployment of the officers was properly done as a stop gap measure awaiting substantive filling by the PSC. The officers were still earning what they were earning before deployment and hence their deployment has not affected the wage bill. Hon. Speaker, on whether the appointments were conducted in a fair and competitive manner and based on merit, the Cabinet Secretary informed the Committee that the positions were in acting capacity awaiting substantive appointments by the PSC in the normal manner and that they were meant for public good to ensure continuity of service to the public. Hon. Speaker, hon. Joseph Gitari, on the other hand, had sought information on the following: Why the Cabinet Secretary revoked the appointment of Zablon Mabea; why the Cabinet Secretary appointed Mr. Peter Kang’ethe Kahuho as the Acting Director-General despite the fact that the National Land Commission faulted the move; why the Government seal was removed from Ardhi House and taken to Ruaraka survey The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
