• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Just to recap on the issues that I raised yesterday in the Report. I was dealing with the recruitment process of the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) Managing Director (MD). I had said that the position fell vacant on 21st December, 2009, and the KPMG was mandated to carry out the exercise of hiring the new MD for KEBS. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what we observed from the submission to the Committee was that--- The CEO of the KPMG informed the Committee Members that the Minister did attempt to interfere with the process by sending emissaries to the Minister’s staff.

The rules and guidelines of the process were agreed upon by the members, with the interview having 70 per cent points for the oral part and 30 per cent points for the written part.

• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think we have enriched the report very much. I do ask the House to adopt this report, and implement its recommendations. I think it is very important for us to really investigate further the use of the taxpayers’ money in the recruitment process at KEBS. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think also, as a lesson in the future, a board of any State Corporation should not take on a role it cannot perform.
