• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I assume that you so require. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been put in a very awkward position, because this allegation is what I have heard. I checked from within and actually confirmed it, except that I do not have proof. I know it for a fact. It took me a whole week to verify that fact. I interviewed some of those relatives, and they confirmed to me that they are related. I have personally interviewed one of the relatives, but I do not want to name names here. So, since it is really my word against yours in this House, I withdraw and apologise, ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Muthama said that the salary is not an issue. In an organisation of this nature, there are guidelines to be followed. That is why the guidelines are there. In fact, the requirement of having three names is, in fact, a guideline. It is not the law. So, if you refuse to follow the guidelines in this respect, you will be applying double standards. You cannot say that you do not want to follow the guidelines in respect of the salary, yet you want to follow the guidelines with respect to employment. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Let me finish. You see, my thoughts are being disorganised. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was not avoiding the letter. I was coming to it. If only hon. Kioni had waited, I would have answered it. I was coming to the issue of the salary and the guidelines. The letter that has been tabled here actually contravenes--- It was tabled, and I will answer that part. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: When this candidate was told: “You are now earning Kshs1,084,000 plus benefits. This job does not attract that much”, he said that he was willing to take a salary of up to Kshs900,0000. That is still double the figure provided in the guidelines. We were made to believe that the Kenya Bureau of Standards earns money by the use of the standard mark. It does not generate enough money. That is why the Bureau does not pay high salaries. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the highest paid officer there earns Kshs290,000. So, you cannot wake up one morning and say: “I ... view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that letter was written much later after the interview. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you have rightly put it, that letter was written after the interview, or after the reports that appeared in the newspapers. view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: The ad hoc committee’s report, which is official, actually shows that the salary that was requested by Abdikadir Omar Aden was Kshs900,000. Actually, when he was told: “You now earn so much---“ view
• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will conclude. Mr. Deputy Speaker, with regard to the issue raised by hon. Lekuton as to whether I checked the original documents, that was the work of the ad hoc committee. It was also the work of the short-listing committee. I believe the idea of short-listing is to check the original documents. In fact, when I checked myself candidate No.2, one of the requirements here was an MBA. This candidate No.2 had actually not completed the MBA and yet it was written. So I asked them: Why did you admit this one who says he ... view
