"content": "can prove you went to a secondary school, then you qualify for that job. Chiefs who are employed by the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, have a minimum qualification of grade āCā, how can they have counterparts who have qualifications that are just mere secondary school, whether it is in Form One or even a few months in secondary school? Are these jobs being made for particular people? In the same advertisement, there was also a road overseer. Are they supposed to inspect, or take care of roads so that they do not get damaged? What are their roles? The advertisement did not have any job description. For counties that do not have money to be doing this, then it means that there is no legislation in place to guide them and standardise what is happening in the whole country. If you look at the legislation that is here to guide the national Government on employment, you will find a certain job group in County No. 1 and also find exactly the same one in County No. 47. This is, however, not the case in the counties. They will pick them depending on the whims of the Executive of that particular regime. Availability of resources should be a factor. While the county assemblies vet would-be appointees, they should find out from the Executive whether they have the resources to employ the workforce. If we continue employing, we will affect the development budget for the next financial year. We will end up with a government of employing without resources or development for the mwananchi."
