    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to congratulate the Minister for bringing this very important Bill to this House. Offices of the Provincial Administration, the chief, the DCs, DOs and County Commissioners are very important to the national Government. Kenya is a unitary State. It is very important that the national Government services are co-ordinated and exist at the grassroots level. Many people who believe that the Provincial Administration should have gone live in the old days when this particular service was, probably, misused because of the political situation that prevailed then in this country. Currently as it is, there are challenges. The institution needs reform just like any other to conform to the new dispensation in this country. But that does not necessarily negate the existence of this particular institution. There are quite a number of problems that this institution faces. Quite a number of the officers actually carry out their services in very deplorable conditions. Many do not have the necessary infrastructure, accommodation and transport. They provide services under very hard conditions. I am very happy today that this Bill is getting very good support from this House. The Provincial Administration will start providing better and more efficient services than they have been doing in the last one year or so, when they were not very certain about their future as far as their profession is concerned. I beg support."
