    "content": "Of importance to note is what came out during the Legislative Summit, especially from the address of the host governor, Prof. Anyang-Nyong‟o. He said that the problem that counties have, and which the Senate and the CoG should think about, is the issue of the baggage that was inherited from the former county councils in the form of excess personnel from the former county councils and the national Government that is not required. The wage bill is so high because it was not easy for them to kick people out of their jobs. They inherited so many of them. This one very important aspect came out of the speech by the Governor of Kisumu County in the Legislative Summit. One of the things that we need to think of is how to reduce on this wage bill. Counties are spending so much on the wage bill because they inherited unnecessary and excess personnel. This is one of the aspects that we need to think of because it is bogging down development in these counties, just as much as these infrastructure developments that have not been undertaken are bogging down developments in these counties."
