    "content": "I, the undersigned, on behalf of residents of Gitare Location, Gilgil Sub- County in Nakuru County, draw the attention of the House to the following:- 1) THAT, in the year 2014, the Government declared vacant the position of chief in Gitare Location; 2) THAT, a number of candidates applied for the position and seven (7) candidates were shortlisted and then interviewed on 26th November, 2014; 3) THAT, though the interviews were concluded in November 2014, the position was not filled for approximately one year, leading to speculations of alleged corruption and malpractices in the recruitment process; 4) THAT, it is alleged that an appointment letter was discretely issued to one Peter Ngigi Wambugu, who is now discharging the duties of the Chief for Gitare Location, oblivious of the Code of Regulations for Public Administration requiring that one may only be appointed chief in location where he or she is a resident; 5) THAT, the appointee, who is expected to be superintending security in the location, is allegedly a suspect under investigation on three different ongoing criminal cases; 6) THAT, this renders the said person unsuitable for appointment to a public office under Chapter Six of the Constitution on Integrity and Leadership; 7) THAT, efforts to petition the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government to nullify the said appointment and conduct the recruitment process afresh in a transparent and accountable manner have not yielded any fruit; and, 8) THAT, the issues in respect of which this Petition is made are not pending before any court of law or any constitutional or legal body. Therefore, your humble petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security:- (i) Causes an audit of the recruitment process for the chief for Gitare Location with a view to identifying the unethical practices that might have delayed the appointment of the chief; (ii) Intervenes to cause the nullification of the appointment of Mr. Peter Ngigi Wambugu as Chief, Gitare Location and recommends forthwith, thorough investigations of the criminal record of the said Chief; and, (iii) Makes any other order or direction that it deems fit in the circumstances of this Petition. And your petitioners will ever pray."
