    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will take less than two minutes. Mr. Ethuro rose on a point of order to request for a Ministerial Statement with regard to chiefs being invited to Nairobi to be re-interviewed and yet they have been interviewed before. I have checked with my officers and none is aware of this exercise. So, I wish to confirm that the arrangement for interviewing chiefs remains as before. We interview chiefs at the district level, forward names to the Provincial Commissioners who vet three names and forward them to the Permanent Secretary who picks the qualified candidate. We have not centralized nor have we arranged for re-interviewing of chiefs who have been interviewed before. I believe that I have answered the hon. Member effectively and if he has evidence to the contrary we are willing to take disciplinary action against the officers who are playing those games."
