    "content": "county administrator, you must have a minimum of a degree from a recognised institution in Kenya and have qualifications and knowledge in administration or management. The initial Bill did not specify that academic qualification. The principal Act only stated that a sub-county administrator shall have qualifications and knowledge in administration or management and shall be competitively appointed by the County Public Service Board (CPSB) in accordance with the provisions of the Act. This particular part of the Bill clarifies the requirements and we agree with that bit. In the case of the ward administrator, it says that the person must have a diploma. In case of a village administrator, it states that the person must have completed secondary education. Therefore, it qualifies in that case. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, looking at how the administrators were engaged, I know for sure that in my county when the advertisements were done, a sub-county administrator was required to have at least a degree with some years of experience and a ward administrator was required to have a diploma with some years of experience. So, the CPSBs went ahead and specified this. Putting this in law is good because we are clarifying what the qualification is. However, saying that they have to leave office every five years is unfair and discriminatory and I do not agree with that part of the Bill. Therefore, I oppose the Bill as it is. I thank you."
