Obure","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":118,"legal_name":"Christopher Mogere Obure","slug":"christopher-obure"},"content":"Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have no doubt in my mind that this police recruitment exercise was a sham and a national shame. I am also very sure that this negatively impacts on the performance of the police service. I agree with those who have proposed that the exercise should be revoked. In fact, it should be revoked to pave way for a fresh and transparent exercise. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to seek clarification from the Chairperson on the role of the provincial commissioners, the district commissioners and so on at the recruitment centres. This is because from the complaints I received, they contributed a lot to the manipulations that went on at the centres. I want also to know how those who were examining them were identified, in the first place, because a lot of the-would-be successful candidates were actually disqualified at that point maliciously. I would like to know how they were recruited."}
