    "content": "Under county public service, the Bill is very clear. It is in consistent with the current Public Service Commission (PSC) regulations. Under citizens’ participation, I find the section is fairly good. However, it is not articulate on how citizens will participate in the county government systems. There is no institutional framework on how the citizens will participate. Therefore, it is important for this Bill to make it very clear for the citizens’ participation in the management of county affairs. This is because the devolved government is all about making people to participate in the Government at the lowest level. Therefore, it is important that the institutional framework for their participation is clearly stated out in this Bill. When it also comes to civic education, it is clearly prayed that civic education is extremely important. However, the institutional framework on how civic education will be carried out at the county level is not clearly stated out. As I said, the institutional framework, the arrangement and the funding is not very clear. So this is an area that is extremely important. As we go to the devolved government system, civic education will be extremely crucial. Therefore, it must be clearly stated on how it will be carried out on the short term, medium term and long term."
