    "content": "with the Commission’s so that they can be addressed as a matter of priority. In the meantime, the recruitment guidelines require that each sub-county recruitment committee should address any complaints raised during the exercise. The Commission is, therefore, waiting for the returns on how this was implemented. Observers and other independent organisations are also expected to give reports to the Commission on any irregularities and inequalities they may have noted in the Commission’s action. As at 17th July, 2014, the Commission had received 35 complaints, which are being investigated on a case-by-case basis. The Commission has received various allegations of corruption which are being investigated and where bribery is proved, relevant action will be taken in accordance with the law. As a Committee, we were not fully satisfied with this Statement. We have requested that--- We have actually summoned the Commission. We will see them on Thursday. We will also meet the Independent Police Oversight Authority, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations and Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission. We want to get their reports as a Committee; we will not allow any centre that entertains corruption and nepotism. The reports that we will get from the four groups, we will analyze them and demand that the areas where there was corruption and nepotism--- We will recommend that results from those areas be nullified and the exercise be repeated. Where there is evidence that there was corruption, nepotism and discrimination--- When young police officers get to know that they went into the service after their parents or friends paid some bribery, I think we are going to entrench corruption from the word go. Therefore, we are meeting them and we will give Parliament a report after meeting stakeholders. We have also written to the Commission advising that they should extend the reporting date from 5th August, 2014 until these issues are cleared. That is the position of the Committee."
