    "content": "Clause 16 is on spot. We need to have responsibilities of CECs in each Act. When we were in Uasin Gishu, we met CECs while dealing specifically with issues of tourism. When they came, you could see a different interpretation of their roles. When everybody was asked what their role was regarding certain matters, they gave their own interpretation. I think this is a candid way of infusing some of the key responsibilities of the CECs, which should be done through some of the Bills that we come up with. That is what will create uniformity within the various counties. So, it is important to prescribe the standards for construction so that this not only becomes a deliverable but also a policy question. This is critical for the transition in the county, so that once a CEC is not there and another one assumes office, it is already in legislation. This is the kind of legislation that the county assemblies can take up and come up with respective specifications to enhance some of the clauses like prescribing the conditions and procedures. I have looked at all these and they are key roles for the CECs. There are also provisions on how to manage the counties and put everything in place."
