"content": "No one is even talking about the personnel that have been employed in the counties, especially those on contract. Now that the Senators will have resources for oversight, we should ask for documents of individuals who are working in the counties, even if they have five year contracts. What safeguard measures have we put in place to ensure that when a new governor takes over, for example, people will not take them to court for not paying their dues? We need to address this issue as the Senate. Many Kenyans, including doctors are worried as we go to elections. That is why we face a big challenge during political engagements with the civil servants in the counties. Most of them think that since they were employed by the governor, when he leaves, they are also supposed to leave. We need to assure them that they will be there even when the next governor comes. It is only the political appointees and politicians who will go. We must safeguard our employees in the counties so that they can be protected from politics. With those remarks, I beg to support."
