    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, there is need for county governments to ensure that when they conduct staff rationalization in a way that does not adversely affect the workers. The other way to rationalize staff is by downsizing. This is reducing the work force for purposes of efficiency. For example, the last in can be the last out. The other way of doing it is by looking at the age factor. For example, staffers that are almost reaching the retirement age can be rationalized. Also, staff that have engaged in misconduct, for example, not delivering or being unethical can be laid off instead of rationalizing 30 people. There has to be a justification for staff rationalization. When staff that have engaged in some misconduct are laid off, the others will take that to be the reason. That will make the remaining staff to work hard to ensure there is productivity. When workers are encouraged, they produce an Alice in Wonderland . It is possible for workers to be productive when the executive is sleeping because they are encouraged. We should not demoralize workers when rationalization is done because it has an impact on them. When jobs are lost, there is loss of satisfaction and lack of interest which reduce productivity for the organisation. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support this Motion on staff rationalization. However, in as much as I support it, it has to be done in a well thought out manner. We should not send Kenyans to early graves."
