    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, it is true that these are people whose loyalty belongs to one person. My view is that we should have an independent County Public Service Board. As it is constituted today, it is almost null and void. Some of them are resigning and some of them are praying just to continue earning salary. If we do not have an independent body, then it means it is nothing. They should not wave to us saying that the law says it is a permanent position. What is the practice on the ground is that those boards were forced to employ people. Madam Temporary Speaker, I am proposing that this Bill amends the County Governments Act to be enacted by this Parliament. This Act may be cited as the County Governments Amendment Act 2015 and the County Governments Act refers to as follows:- “Should be amended in Section 50” Madam Temporary Speaker, Section 50 is here. It is the office of the Sub-County Administrator which says:- a) There shall be established at the level of each sub-county the office of the sub-county administrator. b) The sub-county administrator shall have qualifications and knowledge in administration or management and shall be competitively appointed by the County Public Service Board in accordance with the provisions of this Act. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is not telling us about qualification. I am introducing amendments to it, by saying that it should amended:- 2 (a) by deleting the sub-section (2) and substituting therefore the following new sub-section:- “The sub-count administrator shall be competitively appointed by theCounty Public Service Board after a general election is held for a county government”. Madam Temporary Speaker, this is now removing where you say employing somebody “just like that”. This is to be done after every five years. (b) have a minimum of a degree from a recognized institution in Kenya; (c) have qualifications and knowledge in administration or management. 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"
