• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we have agreed with my friend, hon. Ojode, this House needs to bring Kenyans together. History will judge us harshly if we, as the Ninth Parliament, start talking about tribalism in this country. I want to challenge any hon. Member in this House that if he or she has any evidence to show tribalism in appointments, and he or she wants me to help as the Minister of State for Public Service, let him or her bring that information to my Ministry and we are prepared to help. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as ... view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to continue talking about imbalances when, he himself has just said that other Ministers are supposed to borrow a leaf from me? When he raised this Question in April, we went down there and did what we did to ensure that there is no such imbalances. view
• 11 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, part of these funds will be used for the voluntary early retirement programme. We have to set aside funds for those ones who want to take early retirement. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am surprised that hon. Syongo says that we do not have officers outside of my Ministry. He should be advised that all human resource officers in all Ministries are members of my Ministry. So, we, indeed, have officers even at the district level. view

• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) A total of 26,301 Kenyans have been employed by the Public Service Commission since January, 2003 to May, 2007. (b) The Public Service Commission does not employ Kenyans based on the constituencies they come from, but it picks the best applicants from districts in the country depending on the positions that are advertised. However, my Ministry has set up an Inter-Ministerial Technical Team on Human Resource Distribution in the Public Service which is undertaking a situational analysis to determine the distribution of officers in the Public Service and once the report ... view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you will remember, Mr. Ojode asked me almost the same Question on the distribution of human resources in the Public Service. That prompted me to come up with this task force. They have already given the initial report. By the middle of this month, the report will be out. view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not get his question well. view

• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member says that the Civil Service recruits people from the civil society. I do not understand what he wanted to bring up. He spoke of officers who have retired from the armed forces. If somebody has retired he is entitled to payment of pension. Therefore, if jobs are advertised, these officers could apply for the same jobs just like any other Kenyans. So, I do not see the reasons why they should be given special consideration. view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said that we already have a task force in place which is undertaking a situational analysis to determine the discipline of officers in the Public Service which will include those ones who were employed between 2003 and 2007. That list will be tabled in this House when the exercise is over. To add on to that, in April this year, I tabled a list of public servants working in sample Ministries on the Department of State Corporations tabled in this House. On that day I asked the hon. Members to scrutinise those lists critically and ... view
