    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I second this Report. The Committee made seven broad recommendations that cut across all the counties. The first recommendation was that the county government should professionalize the finance, procurement and internal audit department for efficiency, effectiveness and proper management of county government resources, as well as accountability and transparency in the management of public funds. This can be achieved through the recruitment of qualified chief finance officers and other officers with financial and procurement related qualifications. Madam Temporary Speaker, if you go through the Report, most of the audit queries touch on procurement and use of public funds by the Narok County Government. The County Public Service Board, in conjunction with the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, should come up with a flexible plan and policy that will enable the county governments to attract specialised and skilled personnel. This has been a problem across all the counties because most of the specialized personnel are located in the major towns and are not willing to go to the rural counties to do this work. The Committee further recommended that the county institutes a mechanism to ensure recruitment and placement of staff in accordance with the skills and capacity. Most of the county assembly staff were inherited from the previous county councils and municipalities, which did not attract many qualified personnel. Four, the Committee recommends that the county institutes a mechanism to ensure that recruitment and placement of staff is in accordance with their skills and capacity. Five, the Committee recommends that the internal audit units be strengthened and widened to include evaluating and reporting on internal controls applicable to high The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
