    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I really want to thank the Minister for a very long Statement. But, unfortunately, the answer has not really addressed some of the core issues that I raised. My first clarification is on the first section of my request for the Ministerial Statement, which asked the Minister to confirm whether the decision to second staff to the counties was made by the Cabinet. The Circular that I am referring to was addressed to Permanent Secretaries without the knowledge of the various Ministers in some of these Ministries. That is why I would like to seek this very important clarification. The argument of deployment or secondment, I believe is semantics. What we know is that there are people who are physically being moved from Ministries and being deployed to entities that are being called “counties”, that we know are not yet operational. So, the question is: Since this is a particular task that had been given to a line Ministry, which is the Ministry of Local Government, which came up with a Taskforce; which then has come up with a recommendation which Members of Parliament went to Naivasha for two days and were taken through, and which we know what transition method was to be used, is this not circumventing the work of the Taskforce that has talked about a transition authority which leads to the deployment of members to the counties?"
