• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: (b) Kibauni Division is currently being administered by the District Officer for Mwala Division. The Ministry has a shortage of 600 District Officers and has obtained authority from the Ministry of State for Public Service to recruit 215 additional district officers. Kibauni Division will be considered alongside others upon the recruitment of the 215 district officers who will report by July, 2012. view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: The District Officer for Mwala Division, who is currently manning Kibauni, is allocated a motor vehicle registration no.GKA 790M, a Land Rover pick-up engine No.16L05506C acquired in 2005 and is still serviceable. Motor vehicle registration No.GKA 730, based at the headquarters is also availed to the District Officer when the need arises.

• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the ministry has ensured that it comes up with resources. It is, however, important to note that resources available are inadequate.

So I will manage, once we have recruited the Dos, to post a DO not only in Mwala but also in areas where we still have a shortage of DOs countrywide. view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we requested to be given authority to recruit 600 DOs. We only managed to get approval for 215 which is better than nothing. So we are saying that we take the 215 first, take them for training and then later on post them.

• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in my office we have many requests for divisions to be created and the reason why we are still hesitant to create those divisions is because, among other things, we do not have or have not identified the DOs who are going to work there. I know for sure that there is a division within Homa Bay District called Nyokal which was created some view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: 15 Thursday, 1st March, 2012 (P) time back when we were doing the Referendum and to date we have not posted a DO there. I want to assure this House that Nyokal and other places in the country will definitely get DOs. Those areas where we have not created divisions, I would request my colleagues to hold on until we sort out this mess. view
