    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the Municipal Council of Kisumu is in the process of employing 90 employees in order to fill the approved vacant posts in the staff establishment. All the necessary procedures have been followed, which include budgetary provision, adoption of Council resolutions, Ministerial approval and advertisement for the 90 posts. The 98 employees who were laid off were illegally recruited. They were employed against non-existent posts, with no budgetary allocation, when the Council had been dissolved after the expiry of its term. (b) My Ministry has started staff rationalization in the Municipal Council of Kisumu and, indeed, in a few other councils. On 28th February, 2011, the Council was advised vide Circular No.C130805, that officers from the Ministry would visit the Council to assist in carrying out staff rationalization. The exercise is still ongoing."
