    "content": "4. With the coming into place of the county governments from 2012, these services will continue to be rendered to Kenyans. The county governments will, however, have the power as provided under the Constitution to decide which of these staff they wish to retain and also to recruit skills from all over the country. This will, however, have to be done in the context of the requirements of Chapter 13, Article 232, of the Constitution, regarding the values and principles of Public Service, which among others, require that every public entity, including the county public service, ensures fair competition and merit in appointments as well as representation of Kenyans of diverse communities. The deployment instructions were also clear that Permanent Secretaries were to ensure that the existing staff are equitably distributed in all counties and that their deployment is guided by devolved responsibilities as set out in the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution. The point here is that we are preparing that each and every county has a staff complement that will be able to hand over to the county governments when they are established so that services will continue seamlessly as the counties recruit their own staff from and in the manner they like."
