    "content": "In the senior support staff cadre, Job Group D, Dorcas Nakuruka Erupe got her letter on 6th July. Ms. Esther Loriyian Ekale got her letter on 7th July. Mr. John Ekitela got his letter on 8th July. Mr. Lopira Lowoi Patrick got his letter on 24th July. Ms. Lucy Kairum Muturiko got her letter on 19 July. Mr. Nakodo Janerik got his letter on 12th July. Mr. Sammy Eloiloi Emerita got his letter on 15th July. Ms. Sylvia Nangiro got her letter on 23rd July. Mr. Lesirot Eraku Victor got his letter on 8th July and Moses Nkisekwena got his on 9th July. All of them have already been posted. The position of support staff Grade III, Job Group A, Eliud Nareper Nyangelel declined. He was given a letter after declining his appointment and I shall explain that. Ekeno Esimit was given a letter after declining his appointment. His appointment was withdrawn by the Ministry. The same thing applies to Lokale Ekai. Paul Erop Lokolan is a similar case. Rachael Lomilol Erengâ got her appointment letter on 22nd July. Samuel Epukon Kebor got his appointment letter on 12th July. The long queues were caused by the candidatesâ eagerness to collect their letters of appointment despite the fact that they had been given 30 days from 1st to 30th July to report and collect the appointment letters and also be posted. It was also due to the rigorous process of authentication, signing of the appointment and posting of letters by the Deputy Director of Human Resources Management. The Deputy Director of Human Resources Management and the PS are the only authorized officers to sign those letters. This exercise, therefore, involved verification of academic certificates, identification of candidates, medical certification, giving appointment letters, opening up personal files, opening bank accounts and final posting of successful applicants to the various districts. All these measures and processes were aimed at curbing corruption and other malpractices. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Mr. Paul Erop Lokulan, Mr. Eliud Nyaodo Nalepere, Mr. Joseph Lokale Kai and Mr. Peter Ekeno Esimit cannot be given letters of appointment and posting despite being selected as successful candidates. This is because they did not meet the minimum requirements for appointment as stipulated by the Ministry of State for Public Service circular dated 18th September, last year. It stipulates that for appointment to the grade of support staff Grade III, Job Group A, a candidate must have completed secondary school education and obtained a Form Four certificate or proof of the same. However, the four candidates did not have Form Four certificates. Instead, they presented Class 8 certificates; that is the KCPE, and were therefore disqualified. Giving appointment letters to the four candidates from Turkana will amount to discrimination as candidates from other districts, who were also disqualified, will demand the same. Further, any reversal of this decision is within the purview of the Ministry of State for Public Service and not the Ministry of Education. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also wish to clarify that although the candidates were interviewed successfully and invited to Nairobi to collect appointment letters, it has emerged that they cheated the Ministry during the interview. They cheated the panelists as regards their qualifications. During the interview, the candidates argued that they had left their KCSE certificates at home. Due to the inconvenience of travelling back to Turkana to get the certificates before they were interviewed, they were given the benefit of doubt and, for that reason, they were interviewed. But later they could not present those certificates."
