    "content": "Part (b) of the question is the operationalization of the National and County Education Board as stipulated in the Act. Section 21 of the Basic Education Act, 2013 gives the Cabinet Secretary the powers to appoint County Education Board Chairpersons and Members. The Ministry has appointed all the Members of the County Education in all our 47 counties. This was done in February, 2022. The tenure of these members is supposed to be three years. We did the advertisements and the interviews were done of the Chairpersons of the County Education Board, but they have not been hired. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have a recommendation from the Presidential Working Party. We have also sent a recommendation to the National Assembly on the same. We should have the county commissioners as Chairpersons of County Education Boards. We have made the recommendations and sent a miscellaneous amendment to Parliament."
