    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to start with the questions raised by Sen. Kanainza as to whether investigations have been done. When I was reading the statement, I mentioned that the alleged malpractices and corruption have been brought to the attention of the Commission and they have already started investigations by appointing a task force to investigate and report. It went further to say that if this is proven the whole exercise will be repeated. It will only be fair for the House to give this commission which is investigating this matter time to work and come up with findings. She also raised the question of teeth being brown. Whatever it is, if the teeth do not satisfy the examiner, then it is so. We do not talk about brown and white. We are talking about bad teeth. Regarding academic qualifications, I also read a statement about mean Grade of D plus, a diploma and if you have any other certified certificate, you had the right to appear before the recruiting team and be interviewed accordingly. As to the number of complainants raised by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, he talked about Bungoma, Kakamega and Nairobi counties. If you look at the statistics, they are higher because the population in those areas is also higher than in Garissa County. Therefore, the complaints will be more than the less populated areas. It is just common sense. As to the question raised by Sen. (Dr.) Machage about height, this has been with us, it is in the army, it is with KWS, the police, the prisons and so on. These are some of the things we inherited from the colonial system. I am sure if there would be need to review, the matter should be looked into. I do agree with him because if you go to Lamu The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
