    "content": "do not look at it as though these governors are eating into Gen Z's future. So, that is why I am saying we should also join hands and ask for accountability at the county level. My last point will be on the issue of employment. We have the National Employment Authority (NEA). We should enhance its mandate by fighting the wage bill. We need to know who is employed where. It should also be somehow devolved. In Kiambu County, we pay over Kshs6 billion per year as a wage bill. A governor gets in and employs all his people. In Kiambu, we have had four governors. Every governor has employed everyone. The next governor will probably do the same. So, this is the reason I am asking the NEA to have a record of everybody. Every person employed by a governor should submit his Curriculum Vitae (CVs), certificates and a letter of appointment indicating when he was employed. It played very well when we were having an impeachment. We asked the governor; did you employ this person? The governor said I have not employed him or her. How can this House know? You have no way of knowing because the governor is the employer and the custodian of those documents. They only need to withdraw them. They only need to remove them. They only need to readjust. If you said he was employed as a Personal Assistant (PA) and maybe he was wrong. Employing him as a PA, they readjust. They say he was an advisor. The best thing is to have an agency whereby anybody who is employed by a county, has those documents submitted there. If I want to know how many people are employed by the Governor of Kiambu, I do not have to go and ask him. I have written to him a letter, reminders and reminders and he has not given the list of those he calls the liaison officers. If there was this authority, I do not have to write to him. I just write to the authority and it gives me that information. So, I call upon everybody, either Gen Z, Millennials, Generation X or the Silent Generation, which is also in this House, not to fight for simplicity. All we need to do is fight for the future of this country. We are lucky to have almost every generation in this House and that is good for democracy. Therefore, we should make sure that the decisions that we make have consequences that are useful to the coming generations Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker."
