    "content": "working. They wanted to contribute to their counties and the development of the spirit of the devolution. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you can imagine a very good civil servant who maybe served as a Principal Secretary (PS) or a Director, whose contract came to an end after three years at the national Government. He is then taken to serve as a CECM. A professor who is a lecturer at the university is tapped to come and serve as a CECM. Such a respected professional is then treated like an extension or person of no consequence within the administration of a county. It is unfortunate. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, my prayer is that we have started well by giving this office some protection. However, we must also create further protection from the side of governors. We are creating good protection for the CECMs from the side of the county assembly from this law. However, as we write this law, we must also think of creating protection for the effective management of counties or from the side of governors. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I support this, I believe it is on the right side of the history of devolution that, for the first time, we have focused on CECMs. My prayer is that we will write a full law on how CECMs should be protected, how they will carry out their functions, and how they can make a solid contribution to the management of counties and the spirit of devolution. With those many remarks, I beg for support."
