    "content": "Clause 7 provides some direction in terms of when the county assembly wants to impeach the speaker and deputy speaker. This gives a clear guideline that will actually lead to aversion of drama and even chaos that come along with lack of legislation that guides such particular issues. I am also looking at things that are of great importance, like the county public service boards. There is a very clear criterion for selecting members of the county public service board. It even gives a very clear watertight process of choosing the selection panel. The chairperson should not be a public officer. There should be a person from the private sector, an Advocate of the High Court who is also a member of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), a Certified Public Accountant and representatives of different associations of workers. This is an all-inclusive process that will lead to a very good county public service board. Clause 68A of this Bill is introducing the aspect of promotion of equal opportunity in terms of employment and eliminating discrimination on the basis of gender, ethnicity, health, religion, mental status or even disability. It also seeks to promote diversity and distribution. This legislation is long overdue. With those remarks, I support."
