    "content": "That being the case, I want to convince most politely the Mover of the Bill, that in Clause 8 where you are giving the functions of the board, any mention of the word, national, Cabinet Secretary and Principal Secretary should immediately be substituted in this Bill with the word ‘County Executive Committee Member (CECM)’ to replace the Cabinet Secretary; Chief Officer who is the equivalent of the Principal Secretary at the county. In this Bill, the Mover is trying to give qualifications, to two people. The first is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). It is all very well when you ask us to ensure the CEO, should be holder of a degree from a university recognized in Kenya. However, at this time and age, we should be stating which degree. If you open the CEO position, you will find a lawyer assuming the position on the board. The CEO should be someone with relevant information and preferably a holder of Bachelor of Science degree in Veterinary Medicine or Agriculture. It should be somebody who is conversant in this field. Madam Temporary Speaker, they are asking whether as a Member of that board, you should hold a degree. This proposal will invite people from Nairobi to go to Trans Nzoia County and be in charge of functions which they least understand. Farmers are not necessarily people with higher education like Sen. Crystal Asige, Sen. Mumma and Sen."
