    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity to comment on the Petition from Machakos County. I have a few things to say about this Petition in relation to human resource management in many counties. In support of this Petition, I urge the Committee to which you will refer this Petition to look into the critical issue of capacity building for human resources in our counties. Only yesterday, I received a delegation of employees of Kitui County Government. These are village administrators who for the last seven years, have stagnated at Job Group H. There is no progression, promotion or stretcher on a natural progression for the human resource capacity in our counties. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the same applies to Early Childhood Development and Education (ECDE) teachers. I am happy that the Chairperson of the Committee on Education is here. This is a very grey area in all our counties and it is a human resource issue. One county has a policy on how to manage ECDE teachers who are employed on permanent and pensionable basis while others are on contract basis. In both cases, there is no clear progression of human resource in this area. In support of this Petition, I urge that when counties constitute the County Public Service Boards (CPSBs), emphasis must be put on the capacity of the members of the board to look into issues of promotions, career progression and reward or reinforce positive performance by county employees to encourage growth."
