    "content": "be sourcing for a specific person. We will reject this, so that we do not lock out other Kenyans from this competitive opportunity in the county. The secretary to the board needs to have certain skills and qualifications. However, it has just been left open and yet the chairman can only be there during employment sessions. If you look at other boards, the best practice is that we have the board at governance level and the employees at administrative level, and we should not mix those two. Therefore, it is wrong to assume that the chairman will manage the employees of the county. So, I oppose the Bill. Anybody with skills can do what the chairperson of the board is purported to do. As the Leader of the Majority Party said, although it was not clear to some of us then, this is the chair of the county public service board. They need to go back and bring an amendment to help the counties. This will create remedies if there are problems instead of bringing amendments that will create more problems. I think the 10 years’ experience for the chairman is a lot of time. We need to relook into this because it will lock out many Kenyans. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I oppose."
