    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I also rise to oppose this amendment, for the same reasons that have been proposed by the Senator from this side of the House. Most specifically, the biggest problem has been that the governors have become everything in the counties. They have not given powers to these men and women to do their duties as envisaged in the County Governments Act. For instance, you have heard that the ward administrators have powers to formulate policies. They have not been mandated to do that. The people to be blamed for this are the governors and not the holders of the office. Madam Temporary Speaker, where I come from, this work was done competitively by the County Public Service Board. In most cases ward administrators hold master’s degrees and some have doctorate degrees. So, it is important that we differentiate political expediency and professionalism. Therefore, I reiterate the contents of those who have opposed. I beg to oppose."
