Senators, as you well recognize, the Senate has a constitutional mandate to protect and represent counties and their governments. To facilitate this role, the Senate through my office has established the County Liaison Office, whose function is to facilitate and coordinate effective interaction between the Senate and county governments. To this effect, the Speaker’s Office has established a Legislative Staff Attachment Programme for technical staff in county assemblies. The attachment programme is designed to provide county assembly staff with a unique opportunity to acquaint themselves with parliamentary structures and processes. The programme aims to expose the staff to the best practices and procedure in legislative, legal, procedural and research services for the enhancement and support of the legislative processes in their respective counties."
