    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Ethuro did not listen to my answer. Out of the Ministerial Statement that I issued, he should have had an answer. I said that those candidates whose appointments are not questionable, numbering 1,793 plus another group, together totalling to 2,093, whose recruitment was processed correctly, and who were employed but have not received their personal numbers, will receive their personal numbers within this week. It took a meeting between my Ministry and the Ministry of State for Public Service, and the two Permanent Secretaries, to resolve the issue of those who were recruited but have not received their personal numbers. There were those 339 who were also employed properly, but whose names did not appear on the list of those who were employed. That decision has been made jointly between me and the Minister of State for Public Service that they will be taken on board. What is on balance is the 837 staff who were being queried. We have since then done an audit. We are satisfied that the qualifications of some of them were correct. Therefore, they need to be considered in one way or the other. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there were a few of them, I believe about 10 or 18, who had fake certificates. Therefore, those will, by necessity have to go. Whether they were employed or not; once you have a fake certificate which does not tally with the employment, you will just have to go. These are the ones I am now handling. Because it involves the Public Service Commission which is an independent body, we all agree that we now need to carry it. If you are a little bit patient, I think we are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel on the balance of 837 candidates."
