• 16 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, at no point did I say that the officer was demoted. What I said is that the officer, along with other two directors of the department in the same Ministry, plus other four officers, were deployed elsewhere in other Ministries. But they still retain the same terms of service and remuneration. Let me reiterate that the officer, including the others, the Director of Settlement and the Director of Survey, were transferred to other Ministries in similar circumstances. None of them was demoted. view
• 16 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is no single officer in Government who owns an office. Positions are given as per the need of the service. I do not know why we should be concentrating on one officer. The Commissioner of Lands was deployed on the same day together with the then Director of Survey, the then Director of Lands Adjudication and Settlement and four other officers. Indeed, there was a precedent. The same officer had been deployed in the year 2000 to the State Law Office where she was further deployed to the Public Service Commission, as a legal officer. ... view
• 7 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It looks like this Ministry's Vote has been discussed exhaustively. There being no other serious need to discuss it further, am I in order to request you to ask that the Mover be now called upon to reply? view
• 25 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. From 1963 when Kenya attained Independence to the early 1990s, the size of the public service grew to a level where it had become unsustainable and a major impediment to effective and efficient public service delivery. The size of the public service grew from 95,000 in 1963 to a peak of 657,000 employees in 2004 mainly due to a Government intervention to create employment in the public service.

• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that some public servants offered themselves and were, indeed, elected in the ongoing NARC(K) elections in violation of the Civil Service Code of Regulations. (b) The Government issued a Circular No.OP/CAB.53/1A on 30th January, 2007, informing public servants that in accordance with the Code of Regulations, those officers wishing to seek elective posts for both parliamentary and civic levels must resign from the Public Service by 1st July, 2007. view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree that I am from Taita and the hon. Member comes all the way from Kericho. As he says the elections took place somewhere in Central Province which is in the middle of the areas where we come from. However, if the issue is with regard to Mr. Matere Keriri as he rightly says, Mr. Keriri had already resigned his position and submitted his letter of resignation on 25th May, 2007. view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am totally at a loss as to what privileges the hon. Member is referring to that Mr. Keriri was enjoying from State House. According to our records, Mr. Keriri left State House quite a while ago. He has been the Chairman of the Electricity Regulatory Board until 25th May, 2007. As to whether there were other gadgets that were used during the elections, we were not there to witness that event. view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Code of Regulations is explicit that a public officer wishing to contest for a parliamentary or civic seat must resign from office unless he is eligible for pension and in accordance with the Pensions Act. It further goes to state that a civil servant maintains neutrality according to the Civil Service Code of Regulations. The Circular is clear regarding whoever wants to stand for elections, that they are to resign by the 1st of July. view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if the hon. Member could be kind enough to furnish me with information of the name of the person and details as to when the elections were held, we will be able to take appropriate action. view
