    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, on 12th and 13th November 2014, the Commission advertised for the position of Commission Secretary in two local dailies, namely The Standard Newspaper and the Daily Nation . The advertisement was also placed on the Commission’s website. On 27th, the Commission forwarded all the applications to the consultant for processing. They had a total of 130 applicants and 70 valid applicants were long-listed, leaving 50 applicants who did not meet the minimum requirements. About 20 candidates were shortlisted for the first level interviews, which were conducted between 16th and 20th January 2015. The top 10 applicants from the first level interview were selected for a second level interview, which was conducted between 31st January and 2nd February, 2015. I am being harassed by my sitting neighbour, Hon. Amina Abdalla, here, but let me continue. Eight names of the interviewees who had scored more than 70 per cent in the second interview were forwarded to the Commission for consideration for appointment as Commission Secretary. Upon receipt of the eight names from the consultant, the Commission subjected them to further interviews between 9th and 10th March 2015. From the interviews, Mrs. Anne Gitau, Dr. Julius Itunga and Mr. Gamaliel Alukwe topped and, therefore, were picked for due diligence and vetting by the relevant Government agencies before the final decision was made.
