    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this very important Bill and also appreciate the sponsor of the Bill for bringing it to the Senate. I support this Bill because, as we all know, our 47 counties need to be effective and efficient. Some of the conditions that are there will not help them to move very fast in whatever they are doing. However, this particular Bill proposes efficiency in their work and that is why I support it. In this Bill, you can clearly see that, in Clause 6 under Part II; Establishment of the Office of the County Printer, it has taken care of some very important areas. It will ensure that there will be no duplication in printing and publication of the documents because of the coordination or liaising well with the Government Printer. When it comes to employment of the officers under Clause 9(2), you can clearly see the way people should be appointed, the body that will recruit them and so on. All these are clearly indicated which takes care of any confusion that may take place and also the requirements of Chapter Six of the Constitution which is very good. Unfortunately, in the past, many Kenyans misused this because some of the people who applied for different jobs and even qualified, did not follow Chapter Six of the Constitution. I believe that with the current fight against corruption, we will be able to put all these in order so that we can place the right people in the right positions. This will also help and guide the Executive on the ground. It will also ensure that the counties do not employ their relatives, but employ qualified people who can do the work efficiently. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this Bill and congratulate its sponsor. Thank you."
