But the Assistant Minister is definitely not in charge of his Ministry. Two weeks ago, I went to pursue salary payments for two chiefs from my place; one is called Joseph Elim Tapen, Chief of Napelilim Location who was recruited on 4th of February, 2010. The second one is Assistant Chief Lochu Cherneng Christopher, the sub-chief of Lodwar Town, who was recruited on the same day and who is working now. Their salaries have been delayed and they were coming to Nairobi. I told them that it is my job to represent them in Nairobi because I am there by virtue of the business instead of them travelling to Nairobi. I went to the Human Resources Manager at the Office of the President (OP), a Mrs. Rono, who called for the files of these two gentlemen and confirmed to me that they have not been given a Payment Change Advise (PCA) because they want to re-interview them and that they will communicate in due course."}
