    "content": "So, the PSC is important now that we have a devolved system of government. We have counties where we have similar county service boards. It is only in this country where you see a fresh graduate employed by the county government at the same scale as a county commissioner. It is very sad. They are in the same scale without any experience just because there is no proper structure in the county service boards. I am sure and I want to go on record that the validation of certificates of the many people who work in county governments has not been done. Some of them have fake certificates. I am aware of one county that did validation of certificates and found 35 per cent of their top staff including the County Executive Committee Members presented fake degrees. This is the function of the PSC. The Member for Subukia is talking about Nakuru County and I do not want to speak about that county. I am speaking generally. There must be harmonization. It is very sad that the person representing the national Government at the county is the County Commissioner, but in terms of salary, a junior officer of the county, fresh from the university, is on a better salary scale than that of the County Commissioner. These are serious issues that are happening within the public service. This Bill also deals with the matter of delegation of powers of the Commission. If the Commission wants to delegate its powers to the County Public Service Board, that must be done in a formally structured way. This Bill is creating a section at Part V which deals with delegation of powers of the Commission. At what stage and to whom should the Commission provide a secretariat for an entity? That is what it seeks to address."
