ODM MPs To Summon CSs Machogu, Mutua Over Irregular Distribution Of Employment Letters

• ODM party faulted Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu and his Tourism counterpart Alfred Mutua over the irregular distribution of employment letters
• Their complaints emerged after employment letters from the two ministries were being circulated in Kisii county
• Earlier, Saboti MP Caleb Amisi of ODM had claimed people in Kisii were being given employment letters casually by CS Machogu

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party has said it will launch a formal complaint against Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu and his Tourism counterpart Alfred Mutua to explain on employment policy.

In a statement released Wednesday, May 8, by the party Secretary-General, Edwin Sifuna, they accused the two CSs of unbiased employment opportunities.

Their concerns came days after employment letters from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) were circulating in Kisii at funeral services.

ODM demanded an explanation of how Kenyans who did not vote for United Democratic Alliance (UDA) will get government jobs.

"We will lodge formal complaints to the relevant authorities in the next few days. We have also asked members of our Parliamentary Group (PG) to summon the CS for Education and his Tourism and Wildlife counterpart Alfred Mutua to explain the hiring policy at TSC, KWS, and other government departments, and how Kenyans who are not UDA supporters can also access employment opportunities," Sifuna stated.
