"content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I appreciate Sen. Mwaruma for bringing out such a very important aspect of the national administration. The positions of assistant chief and chief are the lowest level of administration in the national Government. The proposal that this particular statement is seeking to have a scheme of service for national Government administrative officers is something that should have been done a while back. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

They are the people who deal with every case before it gets to the police station, court and any other baraza that deals with it. They are the first point of call when there is a problem in any family or society."

"content": "Having a scheme of service for these chiefs and assistant chiefs will help them in so many ways. One of the critical things is to motivate them to know that you grow in the system. Having been employed as an assistant chief, you have an opportunity to have your career progress when there is a scheme of service. Failure to have such an arrangement will always discourage them from performing their roles. We have had sessions with a number of these people. Over the weekend, I can confirm that I had a session with a number of them who, besides operating without resources and offices, most of them operate from their homes."

"content": "These are people who receive all kinds of problems and they are expected to deal with them. Having a scheme of service, having them in a structured kind of arrangement that they know when they get into office, within three years, they will move to the next level, this will have them supported, so that they deliver for the people that they represent. This, as I have said, is the team that is also supporting the Government. In most of the public participations that we conduct, the people who convene these meetings, the people who call upon the residents to participate are the area chiefs and assistant chiefs. Without them, I am very sure we are unable to reach out to the people who are more important than those who are in white-collar jobs in the offices. I call upon the Committee that will deal with this particular statement to go beyond the scope of service and ensure that part of what they come up with also addresses the operationalisation of several administrative units that have been gazetted across. I know for a fact that in my county, we have over 100 administrative units that have been gazetted, but have not been operationalised."
