    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to make a comment on this Petition. This could be the third Petition we are getting along the same lines this week. Kenyans are getting worried about how county executives are going about the issue of employment. Madam Temporary Speaker, I urge the Committee to which the Petition will be committed to establish what kind of guidelines were given to the governors in terms of staffing of the governors’ offices. That seems to be where the free hand is. We also need to know the issue of the wage bill. Yesterday, I raised the issue of the formula and wage bill with the Commission on Revenue Allocation’s (CRA) formula. This has been a big issue. This is one way of contributing to the high wage bill, if there is uncontrolled employment. Sometimes, you will find a person is employed and is given unnecessarily high job groups which contribute to this wage bill. Therefore, I urge the Committee to make sure that other than just handling this Petition from Nyamira or the other one from Bungoma, which was presented here yesterday day, they should also look at the guidelines that have been issued for these executives to follow so that we see whether they are operating within them."
