    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I am touched by Sen. Kajwang’s contribution this evening, especially with regard to our late brother who has passed on to the next world. He did a good job in Homa Bay. I join my colleague to appreciate the work that the former chairman of the CPSB in Homa Bay did. His example should be followed by many other people of integrity who would like to make sure that their office is run in a manner that adheres to the Constitution and the principles of good governance in Article 10 of the Constitution. Having said that, I thank the Senator for Kilifi for bringing this Bill at this time although some of the shortcomings it intends to cure could have passed us because of the absence of such a Bill. This Bill will still help to make sure that county governments are run in line with the Constitution. The county government has its own civil service. At the moment, if you look at most counties, the composition of these civil service is incomplete, inadequate and is one of the causes of problems of under-capacity in the counties. The County Governments Act lays down clearly the structure of the civil service in the counties. It begins from the Village Council, goes to the Ward Administrator to the sub County Administrator, then to the executive in the Governor’s office. As I speak, most counties do not have village councils. If you remember well, the Assistant Chief in every sub-Location has what are called village elders. This is the kind of village or sub Location Council on which the Assistant Chief relies for governance at the local level. 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."
