Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we cannot call that interference because the interviews were due on 21st January, 2009. All the invitees were ready and the Board was willing to go on with the interviews. Unfortunately, following consultations within the Government, the interviews were put off.

However, now it has been agreed that the interviews will proceed as earlier planned and the appropriate recommendations will be forwarded to the Kenya Sugar Board (KSB) for consideration and concurrence by the parent Ministry. I want to assure this House that the interviews will take place as earlier scheduled and we will get a new team of receiver managers before the 9th of this month.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the performance of the current receiver managers has been wanting. After consultations between the Government and all the stakeholders, we have advertised the recruitment of the said receiver managers, so that we can get the best one, who will turn around Muhoroni Sugar Factory and expedite the sale of Miwani Sugar Factory. We had to put off the interviews, so that, at the end of the day, we can have wide consultations within the Government and among all the stakeholders.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to assure this House that there was no interference, whatsoever. The fact that the Prime Minister called off the interviews does not mean that there was any interference. He coordinates and supervises the activities of the Government. So, this is within his docket.
