    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a serious point; that the county governments, at the end of the day, should teach the national Government how to have a fair reflection of the character and diversity of the counties and nation as a whole. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the second point that I wanted to make on this matter is that there should be a mechanism where the county governments will be able to examine the workers concerned, for suitability. This is because sometimes when there is a general principle that they should all be absorbed, I think that at the national Government, probably, there may be a reason for that. However, at the county level, the county governments must be given a framework to determine whether these people are actually suitable for absorption. You will remember that the chapter dealing with public service is very specific about deployment of people into the public service. Therefore, I would hope that, at the end of the day, when that framework is established, there will be a mechanism for determining the suitability of these particular people. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to support very firmly the sentiment expressed by the Senate Majority Leader on the TA. The TA should have its full tenure and timelines respected for its existence, so that the transition is carried through in an organized manner instead of bringing in proposed amendments to bring the life of that authority to an end. I think at the back of my mind, this must be a conspiracy to try and interfere with the process of devolution. Indeed, this must be stopped unless we can be convinced that there is a better organ or process for ensuring that the transition from a centralized form of Government to a devolved system is going to take place in the manner conceived in the Constitution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to use the Floor of this House to say that whereas we are talking about human resources and so on, I think what is happening in the Judiciary should be brought to an end. When the Judiciary is involved in this kind of warfare for long, service delivery will be interfered with. I understand there was a ‘war council’. We must bring this war to an end."
