    "content": "2. I also wish to clarify that the staff have not been seconded to county offices as secondment of public servants only takes place between the Government and existing institutions. County governments are not yet in place hence public servants cannot be seconded to them. As Members are all aware, under Chapter Eleven, Part 2 of the Constitution, the provisions relating to devolved government are suspended until the first elections for county assemblies and governors take places. The services of the counties must, in the meantime, continue to be rendered to Kenyans from the Central Government. It was found, however, necessary to issue the Circular in view of the need to ensure that services to citizens at the county level are not interrupted during the transition and the post-transition period. This is also a move towards provision of initial staff capacity in counties, as a basis for support to county governments which need to start somewhere when they become operational."
