They also ensure that Government services are delivered and become the microphone of the Government in informing the public on major policy issues that are normally issued from time to time. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I recall way back in 1969/1970 when I was attending a Senior Advanced Public Administration Course at the Kenya Institute of Administration (KIA) and each one of us was given a task for one month to go round the country. The task that I was given was to ask Kenyans whether there can be a substitute to the Provincial administration. One of the things that we asked was whether the Provincial Administration should be removed and county councils given the authority to play the role that they played. There were overwhelming objections to the suggestion that the role of the Provincial Administration should be taken by politicians. They felt that an elected person can never be impartial because he will always support the side that elected him. So, without much ado, I wholeheartedly support the Bill. It is in the interest of this country that we should retain these officers, so that people who do not resort to courts, for example, couples who quarrel, the chiefs and the elders can resolve those issues. I beg to second."
