    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have two Statements and the first one is an allegation of politically instigated harassment of employees in counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No. 53 (1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding allegations of politically instigated harassment of employees in the counties. In the Statement, the Committee should - (1) Clarify whether the allegations of politically-instigated harassment of employees after the inauguration of county governments are true and, if so, outline actions taken to address the issue; (2) Provide an overview of legal protections and safeguards in place to ensure that employees of county governments are not subjected to harassment or discrimination based on perceived political affiliations; and (3) Outline any measures put in place to institutionalise professionalism within the public service at the county level of Government to shield them from political influence and guarantee continuity in service provision; and (4) Provide per-county schedules of staffing levels in each cadre in respective county assemblies and county executives between August 2022 and September 2023, explaining the reasons for any recruitments done and attrition between the two periods. Thank you."
