    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that the rates for the casual workers were reduced from Kshs250 to Kshs150 per day when the Emergency Food Programme was implemented under the Economic Stimulus Programme (ESP). The project was paying the stated amount of Kshs250 which was the approved rate for the Kazi kwa Vijana Programme. In June, 2010, the Emergency Food Programme Phase 1 came to an end and, therefore, TARDA reverted to the daily gazetted rates for the area, rounded to Kshs150 per day. The gazetted wages are contained in the Kenya Gazette dated 29th May, 2009. (b) The pay of the Managing Director and other managers was not affected by the directive. (c) I wish to conclude by stating that it will be difficult to revert to the rate of Kshs250 and pay any arrears since the project was advised by the auditors to adhere to the gazette wages as per the Gazette Notice No.36 of 29th May, 2009."
