    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support the Public Service (Values and Principles) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.29 of 2014). This is a Bill for an Act of Parliament to give effect to the provisions of Article 232 of the Constitution regarding the values and principles of public service and for connected purposes. I am happy that a law is coming to prescribe values and principles that are required for officers who have been engaged in the public service. Clause 5(1) says that every public officer shall maintain high standards of professional ethics. These include honesty, high standards of integrity, transparency, respect towards others, objectivity, patriotism and observation of the rule of the law. We have had devolution for years now and all the officers who have been employed in the county governments are also public officers. You will be surprised that the practices on the ground are very pathetic. You will find that most of the public officers in the counties are from the dominant ethnic community in those counties, yet we want to be a unified state. County executives even transact business in their mother 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."
