Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee thereafter engaged the stakeholders and sought information on the following areas- 1. The demographic composition of all employees of county governments in terms of gender, Persons with Disability (PWDs), age and ethnicity. 2. The demographic composition of counties executive committee members and chief officers in terms of gender, Persons with Disability (PWDs), age and ethnicity. 3. Any recruitment conducted by county governments in the last three years, outlining the positions that have been filled by the criteria applied in the selection of candidates. 4. The status on the compliance by county governments with Section 53(6) of the PPAD Act, Cap 41(2)(c). 5. Affirmative action measures being implemented by counties in promotion of women, youth, PWDs in recruitment and leadership and any audit or assessment undertaken in the last three years to ascertain the level of inclusivity in the recruitment process. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee met with the PPRA and the NCIC and it has also received submissions from the PSC. Additionally, the Committee also met and deliberated with the following counties; Mombasa, Kwale, Kilifi, Tana River, Lamu, Garissa, Wajir, Marsabit, Tharaka Nithi, Embu, Kitui, Machakos, Makueni, Nyandarua, Nyeri, Kirinyaga, Murang’a, Kiambu, Turkana, West Pokot, Samburu, Trans Nzoia, Uasin Gishu, Elgeyo Marakwet, Baringo, Laikipia, Nakuru, Narok, Kajiado, Kericho, Bomet, Kakamega, Vihiga, Busia, Homa Bay, Migori, Kisii, Nyamira, Bungoma and Nairobi. The Committee also intends to meet Siaya, Kisumu, Meru, Nandi and Isiolo counties. The Committee, therefore, wishes to submit the general observation made on the ongoing process of engagement with the relevant stakeholders. On the demographic composition of all employees of the county executive in terms of gender, persons with disabilities and age, and ethnicity, the Committee observed that all the 42 counties executive engaged have not complied with the provision of Article 54 of the Constitution that at least 5 per cent of the members of the public in elective and appointive bodies are persons with disabilities."
