    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to sincerely thank hon. Njuguna and hon. Kombo for this very important petition. These ambiguities surrounding the Provincial Administration generally must be sorted out, once and for all. Specifically, the idea of chiefs and assistant chiefs not knowing their fate is a pity because they do play a great role in the maintenance of peace and harmony, especially in pastoral communities where cattle rustling is rampant. For example, they have been playing a very crucial role in tracking down criminals in Marsabit County. Marsabit County is one of the largest counties in the country. They also help the Government in maintenance of peace and order throughout the country. For them not to know their fate is a sorry state of affairs and we must address this issue urgently. Therefore, we must do all that it takes to ensure that ambiguity is sorted out. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the question of restructuring or laying off some officers, based on whether they are performing or not, must not arise. This is because we have performance appraisals for all civil servants. That can be a continous process which will be applied to all civil servants and not only to the chiefs and assistant chiefs. That must not be a basis of removing any chief from service. With those few remarks, I beg to support this very important petition."
