    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for inviting me to welcome the staff from the 47 counties. I just wish to tell them that internationally, what is now in vogue is something called Open Government Partnership (OGP). In fact, last month, I was in a Global Summit on OGP. This is based on the fact that leaders in Parliaments of the world must never hide from the public what it is that they are doing. For this to be done, we rely on staff. So, I wish to encourage them that you do quality work in your offices. More importantly, they should go back home knowing that under the Constitution of Kenya, no information is supposed to be shielded from the public. We have problems in various counties. You have seen what is happening in Kisii and Meru counties. They are big problems because OGP is not working in those two counties. Probably the governors have a case, but nobody knows what they have been doing. Probably, the Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) have a case. So, support them for them to be able to make the running of government in county assemblies open. Welcome and any time, my office is next to the stairs, you can come for a cup of tea and the other things beyond 5.00 p.m."
