    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other issue that was raised by the county executive relates to staffing. This is one of the challenges that we are facing in our counties. This is a problem that Nairobi County faced the other day, where the county governments are inheriting a bloated workforce within our counties. It is important that we carry out an audit of the staff and the county governments be given the opportunity to absorb the staff that they need. If we have some staff members that were recruited by the local authorities in the previous dispensation and the county governments do not need them, it is important that the county assemblies are allowed to absorb staff that they need. The national Govenrment will then find a way of redeploying the staff that they do not need. This is quite important, so that we do not create a crisis. We do not want our county governments to inherit a bloated workforce and spend a lot of resources in paying salaries, yet they do not need the services of all the staff. I think that this is one of the issues that are quite important."
