I wish to inform him that the Ministry is fast-tracking the recruitment – and, of course, in consultation with this Committee and with the Public Service Commission and other players - to ensure that there are funds to recruit those officers and post them to Wajir South, Habasweni, Ijara, and even Bura, where I used to be a DO in the 90s and Fafi.
