    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is about persistent harassment and intimidation of officers and the County Executive Committee (CEC) Members. This includes blackmailing his CECs and Chief Officers (Cos) with one-year contracts, whose renewal he undertakes arbitrarily, leaving the officers jittery about their employment and creating a climate of fear, uncertainty and despondence. To put this to perspective, the governor failed to renew the contract of 23 Chief Officers in May, 2019. This is a serious problem we have in the county. As MCAs, we have really tried to talk about it. You will appreciate that the Nairobi City County is where 90 per cent of officers are in acting capacity. For example, I isolated the Finance Department. You remember that since the elections, we have been in office for about 40 months. You will be shocked that during this time in the finance docket alone, we have had 10 CECs. That is within three years. We have had eight Chief Officers in the same docket. Mr. Speaker, Sir, that clearly talks about poor governance."
