    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I congratulate Sen. Khaniri for his Statement, which is in support of counties. We have always talked about counties not having capacity in certain areas. The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) capped county positions in many areas, including that of research, finance officers and a lot of issues around the capacity in terms of the human resource of counties. We also know that people need hands to implement some of these projects. I know that we are juxtaposing this with the recurrent expenditure, but sometimes recurrent expenditure does not require a lot implementation capacity or hands. However, counties are really suffering from understaffing because they do not have adequate officers that are supposed to do some of this work. Even as we say that the absorption capacity is low, this House also needs to support counties to have the requisite capacity in terms of the people to do the work and oversee some of the projects that they are supposed to implement. 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."
