    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I appreciate that during this pandemic of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), the Government considered additional employment of the various medical cadres in various counties to alleviate the acute shortage of workers in these counties. I hope that this will be a permanent feature because the acute shortage of these workers in various counties leaves a lot to be desired. Services may not necessarily be rendered to the people with finality. Secondly, while employing these people, there must be a level of transparency and accountability. I have heard stories from several counties that may not be pleasant. During this interview process, there is rent-seeking; that most of them seek to get from the prospective candidates, who are likely to get any job from those places. I urge that our security agencies and the anti-corruption elements focus on various counties that are causing this kind of unfortunate situation. They can save the young people from being asked to pay a lot of money upfront without any justification whatsoever. They should be called to account when they develop these kinds of measures. Madam Temporary Speaker, I like the method and hope that there will be more vacancies given. Particularly in my county, I want to see more vacancies given to the county to employ more people. The health sector has a very acute shortage of health workers in those areas. Once the funds are available to them, I hope everything will be put into good use without resorting to unorthodox methods."
