    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, on 12th March, 2014, hon. Wafula requested for a Ministerial Statement on alleged corruption cases in the Department of Immigration. The hon. Member informed the House that in the recent past, there have been alleged cases of corruption at the Department of Immigration and, subsequently, investigations into the matter were undertaken by the national investigations agency and, consequently, a number of officers were suspended. The hon. Member particularly sought to be informed on the following:- (i) The findings of the preliminary investigations and the allegations. (ii) The details of the officers suspended, designation and status of the suspensions. (iii) Why the suspensions were discriminatory against officers at lower cadres. I wish to respond as follows:- The Department vide letter Ref.No.IMM5/6/7/Vol.1(64) dated 18th July, 2013, requested the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to conduct integrity testing of systems and staff at all passports issuing centers. That is at the JKIA and all border controls under the integrity testing programme. This is an ongoing programme and, so far, the Commission has conducted random integrity tests in the department and forwarded to us their report on the findings for necessary administrative action. The following cases of officers have been filed. The names of those who have failed the test have already been forwarded to us and we have taken the required action as indicated. There is of course--- I have given that work to hon. Wekesa. There are three officers with their personal numbers, designations, job groups and case status. I do not know whether it will be in order that I read their names. Do I have your permission?"
