Senators, the petitioner further states the following:- (a) THAT, early this year (2014), the Vihiga County Assembly Services Board undertook competitive recruitment of 57 new employees for the County Assembly and the new employees reported to work on 1st April, 2014 having been issued with appointment letters signed by the Speaker in his capacity as Chair of the County Assembly Service Board (CASB). (b) THAT, the recruited employees included the Deputy Clerk of the County Assembly, clerk assistants, legal counsel, Hansard Reporters, Serjeant-at-arms, research officers, protocol officers, liaison officers, amongst others, all of whom are very central to the effective functioning of the County Assembly. (c) THAT, due to the differences between the Speaker of the County Assembly, who is the Chair of the CASB, and the Clerk of the County Assembly, who is the Secretary to the CASB, the Clerk refused to recognized the new employees, to issue them with staff employee numbers and to enter them into the payroll of the County Assembly as directed by the CASB. (d) THAT, it is now over seven months since the said employees were recruited by the CASB and reported to work, yet their employment is yet to be rationalized. (e) THAT, the Clerk of the County Assembly has failed to assign any duties to the new employees who have spent the last seven months sitting at or outside the County Assembly without anything to do. (f) THAT, there exist seemingly irreconcilable differences between the Speaker of the County Assembly and the Clerk of the County Assembly and this, in addition to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
