    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the correspondence I received detailed as follows: The recruitment exercise began in August, 2010, received 74 applications. Out of which 15 were shortlisted and 11 turned up for interview. In order to ensure transparency, all the candidates were coded and their real names and identities not disclosed to the Chairman, Council members and the Permanent Secretary or myself. However, there were three Council members who knew everything because they are the ones who did the coding. At the end of the interview process, the candidates scored based on the questions asked and the top five candidates were deemed suitable for appointment subject to further vetting. The Council resolved to hold another meeting to vet the candidates further using three criteria, namely, integrity, salary demands and track record. Before this final vetting, which was supposed to take place on 16th September, 2010, could take place, the Chairman made a unilateral decision and drew a line and said that there will be no further vetting and decided that the top three will be forwarded to the Minister. I will table the report of the ad hoc committee and the protest note."
