"content": "process, it is important that they remain independent and live to the true calling of their duty. This is for the sake of professionalism and ensuring that we do not replicate some of the ills that we thought we would do away with by forming county governments. Therefore, that provision is extremely important so that from time to time, they can be reminded that they are not there to serve the interest of the governor, but the residents of the particular county. Clause 21 of this Bill speaks of the values that a CPSB should aspire to live up to and deliver within our counties, especially the national values. We were here yesterday when we were all speaking and giving glowing tributes to the events that happened on Friday, last week in Harambee House. We do not want a situation, in years to come, where opposing politicians in the county governments will have to shake hands for members living within the same county to speak to one another. One of the greatest ideals that we should translate right is to foresee the challenges that we see within the national Government and find ways to stop them from happening within our counties. Otherwise, if we are not careful, we shall end up with the very challenges that made us to have a devolved structure of Government. Madam Temporary Speaker, one of the reasons why people fight or disagree is when the CPSB does not inculcate or send a good signal of inclusivity. People feel they do not have a chance to compete, especially in counties that have diverse ethnic groups. I come from an almost monolithic ethnic community county. However, I sympathise with some of the challenges that minority groups in certain counties go through. Some of them are considered strangers and they are denied employment opportunities. They cannot become CECs or chief officers in counties. It is not in order. I hope CPSB members will read and understand this provision once this Bill is passed. I still have many other thoughts--- How many more minutes do I have?"
