    "content": "imagined a better way of running our counties is where professionalism counts. We need to hire human resource professionals who manage their human resource better, so that a county can become better, richer and successful. Madam Temporary Speaker, counties that have advanced have not done so because of their resources. There are countries with oil that are successful. However, there are others with oil, but their citizens languish in abject poverty. We also know of many African countries with immense natural resources and minerals, but because of lack of trained human resource personnel, their citizens languish in poverty. Israel is a county with limited resources. However, they have men and women in the correct mental frame charged with the responsibility of leading and it has become a super power of this world. Madam Temporary Speaker, if we are not careful with our counties, a situation will come, probably, in the fourth, fifth or sixth cycle of devolution where some counties will be so advanced in their development that they will be able to loan resources to their neighbouring counties. The difference will be those that managed their resources better against those that squandered their resources. Therefore, as a House that is charged with the responsibility of ensuring that counties thrive and serve our citizens who voted for us, it is important that we put our thoughts together and find ways in which we can improve our counties. I have made a suggestion to ensure that the chairperson of CPSB is a human resource professional of good standing. Madam Temporary Speaker, we had a debate here a few weeks ago where challenging the requirement of 10 years experience in management as proposed by some of the Bills we bring in this House. There was a big debate whether 10 or five years is the adequate number. In this Bill, I propose seven years. This is because a person with seven years of experience in human resource will be able to provide leadership to the CPSB. Therefore, I urge colleagues to support this Bill. I also urge them to suggest amendments that can improve it to ensure the human resource function of our counties is better handled. Human resource professionals must adhere to the County Government Act for them to be effective in the counties. I welcome Senators to give those suggestions so that we may improve on the human resource function in our counties. Madam Temporary Speaker, I am alive to the realities of time and what had been communicated to me earlier by the Speaker. With those many remarks, I beg to move and call upon Sen. M. Kajwang to second."
