    "content": "Finally, I would like to request a bit of flexibility in terms of recruiting junior staff in the remotest parts of this country. I just want to give two examples. There is a problem of recruiting young chiefs with C+ grade. We feel that in those remote areas of Kenya, C+ graduates aspire to do other things than become chiefs. I know that this is something that we designed together with the Public Service Commission (PSC). But I request for a bit of flexibility. We should not be lowering the standards. But we should understand that where there is no candidate with a C+ in a particular area in Kenya, we should go for equivalent qualifications. Similarly, we are experiencing problems with the recruitment of drivers simply because the requirement under the scheme of service is D+. Again you know D+ graduates are young people who aspire for other things, jobs and other professions. Unless we relax those qualifications, it will be difficult to get drivers from some of those marginalized areas."
