    "content": "Assembly was also seized of the matter. A number of people working within the secretarial section, staff in hospitals and casual labourers who had worked till the month of November and had not been paid for eight months. I remember a Committee of this House ensured - even cleaners that had not been paid by Nandi county government - that the Nandi County Assembly also seized the Petition. There is a huge challenge where there is mismanagement of our human resource within the county governments. We are aware that most of the county governments have gone beyond the threshold of 30 per cent that the law has provided. In Nandi County, we are approaching 60 per cent on recurrent expenditure. We are spending that amount on payment of staff and employees within the county government, which affects the development vote. When you use a lot of recurrent expenditure, it means you will have less money to do meaningful development. When that Petition comes - I thank the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare - we need to advise that whenever you bring a Petition here our Standing Orders are clear that you should not take it to another forum like the court of law. I advise petitioners who petition this House that whenever you come with a Petition ensure that you have not taken to another forum. When I was a Member of the Labour and Social Welfare Committee there was a law that was supposed to be brought to the House on uniform CPSB that will encompass the National Public Service Commission and the entire County Public Service Boards of the 47 county governments. I congratulate the petitioner and assure him that this House will treat their matter with the seriousness it deserves. Going into the future, we must review to ensure our House becomes effective and efficient in terms of delivery."
