    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Prof. Mengich served as a Director of the Hospital for the third time between 7th March, 2007 and 6th May, 2008. This was an interim appointment by the Hospital Board, through the Chairman, pending advice from the Ministry on the way forward. At the request of the Board, I renewed Prof. Mengich’s contract for a further period of three years with effect from 7th March, 2007. This was the fourth appointment for Prof. Mengich. The fifth and final appointment for Prof. Mengich took effect from 7th March, 2010 for a period of one year. I approved a one-year extension, from March 2010 to March, 2011, to allow for a smooth transition as, indeed, the Board was then new. The letter giving extension to Prof. Mengich stated clearly that this was a final appointment of one year to allow for a transition from Prof. Mengich to a new CEO. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Board of Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, in consultation with the Ministry, advertised the position of Director or CEO of the hospital on 24th September, 2010, in the local dailies. A total of 11 applications were received, out of which six applicants, who met the minimum requirements, were shortlisted. The shortlisted candidates included Prof. Harun Mengich. Only four candidates turned up for the interviews held on 10th February, 2011. Out of the four candidates interviewed, only two scored 70 per cent and above. The breakdown of the scores for the four candidates is as follows:- (i)Dr. Fatuma Some, 59 per cent; (ii) Prof. Fabien Esemai, 71 per cent; (iii) Dr. Otieno Omolo, 57 per cent; and, (iv) Prof. Harun Mengich – 81 per cent."
