This will entail review of the Budget and involvement of other Government agencies such as the new Salaries and Remuneration Commission and the State Corporation Advisory Committee that will advice on re-categorization of the corporation which is currently placed under Category C. The Board and the management have also been asked to start comprehensive restructuring aimed at improving service delivery. This follows the Ministry’s request to the Ministry of State for Public Service to review the KBC’s current structure of ... view
• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: As I mentioned earlier, the process of restructuring KBC is currently in progress. A team of three officers from the Ministry of State for Public Service have been seconded to the KBC to work on improved scheme of service and to undertake a workload analysis beginning March, 2012. There is also a technical team from the Communications Commission of Kenya to audit technical equipment and a human resource team to carry out an audit on staff.

• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are glad that the strike is off and the workers have gone back to work. Just through that process, I have learnt a lot from the conditions at the KBC. I have learnt a lot about the workers’ conditions. view
• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, can you protect me from the Member for Gwassi and the Member for Bura? view
• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Keynan has asked about all the issues pertaining to KBC. There are a lot of corruption cases and he has asked what we are doing to alleviate or to try and track down these issues and deal with them. I can assure you that we signed together with the members yesterday a tripartite agreement of going back to work that everybody will be audited for what they have done in the organization. Those who found their way corruptly into Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) will be removed. Those who are doing things that Mr. Mbuvi is asking ... view
• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Mr. Kioni talked about timing and again, all these matters of agreement yesterday are time bound. We are giving them 90 days all the way to six months, depending on the Treasury on some of them; and depending on the staff for some of them and what else can be done but we are not taking this forever. Even hon. Members have agreed that we are going to have a review every so often to audit our own actions. As a matter of asking why now, Mr. Ochieng asked why now and not before. If you look ... view

• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Those kinds of things will just be dealt with automatically. You cannot occupy some places if you have no qualifications. I think those are some of the places that if there is proof, action will be taken. That is why the audit is going to be done and it will be subjected to all members of staff at all levels. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me just give my word because all these questions are around audit. We have started the process of auditing. The issue which is most serious - and I think it was asked by Mr. Mbuvi - ... view
• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think I am not aware that the reason she is in Kisumu is for being sexually harassed by anybody. You need to take that kind of information to the police. I am not aware! view
• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I always knew that the hon. Member had an interest in this matter and now, it has come out. I am really happy that he has brought it up. view
