    "content": "shortage on money on both frontiers; that is, at the county level and at the national level-- - We all know the national government has been having a lot of problems paying salaries. That is common knowledge. It would be very good if in restructuring what is called the provincial administration, a step is taken to second civil servants who were previously working for the national government to the county governments in the interim period rather than having this two tier systems of government which is currently going on where the national government is busy putting up officers at the county level. We know under the County Government’s Act, there is also a very clear structure of county civil service which is not yet filled. So, we are going to end up with the county governments employing people and the national government employing people. They are more or less, doing the same things and increasing the recurrent expenditure. I really find this extremely frustrating and making our work even more difficult. So, I would appeal that we identify civil servants who can be posted to the counties. What is going on now is going to be extremely expensive in this nation. So, in order to use the budget we have proposed here today much more efficiently, let us economise on the excessive use of civil servants at the local level where the national government is employing and the county government is also doing the same."
