    "content": "Therefore, I urge that at the amendment stage, the appropriate procedure should be for the trustee to appoint the Chairperson from amongst themselves. Then, for purposes of executing that appointment, the CS would gazette the appointment. However, the appointment should not be made by the CS. He or she is an officer of the national Government while this Fund largely belongs to the employees of the county governments. To that extent, we have trustees that come from the national Government, that is, the Principal Secretary for Finance and Principal Secretary (PS) in charge of Devolution. All these put together with the appointing authority or power of the CS will, to some extent, give unnecessary control to the national Government. It could be a way of frustrating particular county governments indirectly through a Fund like this. The persons nominated as trustees by trade unions should be more than two. We should specify the relevant trade union to which the workers of the county executive and assembly belong to. This is also for purposes of clarity because at the time of appointing or nominating the appointees, if it left generally that it should be nominated by the trade unions representing County Public Service Boards (CPSB)--- Again, even the way it is crafted in Clause 6 is not good enough."
