    "content": "The Second Schedule gives a format for county information that should be available and should be handed over to the new governor. In addition to the list of assets and liabilities and reconciled bank accounts of the county, I am looking at very important data of the county staff establishment per department. We have had as issue of county staff, especially during the handing over where every new governor that comes in, the first thing they do is to do a staff audit of the employees of that county. As a result, we lose competent staff in our government especially in counties. Professional accountants, doctors, architects, engineers, have taken county jobs as something they do during a term of a governor. As a result, when the new governor comes in, most of them attempt and succeed to get rid of all employees that have been serving that county government and bring in their own employees. This has jeopardised the quality of service in our counties. We need to recognise that our counties are a growing concern. We should not have a county government of Nakuru for five years and another county government for another five years; these are county governments that continue in perpetuity irrespective of who serves in the office. Pieces of legislation that recognise this and enact it to law will continue to make sure it is sustained."
