    "content": "The Bill seeks to make the secretary of the board ex-officio; meaning that the board will operate autonomously without direct influence of a governor or a politician managing it. This is because the ex-officio s ecretary will not have the powers to participate in voting or decisions of the board. In nominating or appointing a person as a member of the board, the governor shall consider the following qualities and principles: Gender, equality and ethnicity, and ideally much on ethnicity. This Bill seeks to cure the problem that has been existing in county governments, especially in employment of workers. The National Cohesion and Integration Commission Act is very specific that any government institution, be it a parastatal, the national Government or a county government, must have 30 per cent of the employees from outside that community. However, if you look at employment in county governments, especially of the CECs and the chief officers, the county governments do not follow this Act. Audits are normally done every year by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission, but we do not see clear results that the Act works. So, this Bill will enforce ethnicity requirements by making county governments work and adhere to the 30 per cent provision that the workforce in a county must be from other ethnic communities."
