    "content": "A few steps were taken. Advertisements were placed in the following local dailies: Daily Nation, The Standard, and t he East African on 23rd and 26 October, 2009. Also, the registration of applicants was done online. Out of the 88 applicants received by the consultants, only 54 were duly completed. Applications were received from both Kenya and Uganda. Only 17 candidates were shortlisted, out of whom 12 were males and five were females. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the first interviews were conducted by the consultancy firm on 25th to 27th November, 2009. During that particular interview process, there were 16 candidates. The consultancy firm presented its report to the Advisory Board on 27th November, 2009. Ten candidates were able to make it to that list. There were seven males and three females. They were selected and invited for the final interview. The final interviews were conducted by the members of the Advisory Board on 14th and 15th December, 2009. Eight candidates attended that interview. The candidates were shortlisted individually by the Board members, and the top five candidates proceeded to the next stage, where due diligence was carried out by the National Security Intelligence Service (NSIS), the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and then the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) took up further scrutiny. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, after all that was done, the Advisory Board forwarded two names: Mr. Morris Juma John Oduor and Miss Jayne Wangari Njoroge. We must also note that the due diligence exercise by the NSSIS, KRA and KACC came up with a negative report on an individual, who was disqualified to safeguard the integrity of the process. I will not mention the name of that individual. The Advisory Board resolutions and recommendations were as follows:- “Further to the results of the due diligence report received, the Advisory Board, in its meeting held on 17th March, 2010, recommended unanimously that, subject to Parliamentary approval, the appointment of Juma Morris John Oduor to the position of the Director-General on the following grounds: (i) technical knowledge with advanced academic qualifications; (ii) professional and management experience since he has been acting for two years since September, 2008 to-date and, therefore, has leadership experience in that particular position; (iii) has been dealing with high-level Government officers, and has received favourable responses from the Ministries; and, (iv) has international exposure that will assist him in that particular position."
