    "content": "table, you need to have structures in place. The Galana project is starting and we hope that very soon we will have enough food for our people. I would like that when we start this debate about how to spend money within our counties, we should ask ourselves: Who do we remove! Who do we retrench?” I hope that the Leader of the Majority Party, and other leaders, are going to look at people like sub-county administrators. Why do we need a sub-county administrator when we have what we formerly called the DCs? Why do we need a ward administrator when we have the chiefs? Why should we have all those in place? Why do we need a chief officer who has similar qualifications as the executive officer at the county level? Are we creating positions just to provide employment for the people? Are we not ballooning the wage bill? Where are we going as a country? We must rationalize all the positions even as we discuss--- Hon. Speaker, I think my time was “eaten into” when there was some bit of conversation. When we talk about the issue of women representatives, they represent a certain section and they are constitutionally where they are today. So, let us look at all the issues in a rational way, so that, at the end of the day, we put our country before anything else. Thank you, hon. Speaker for allowing me to contribute."
