    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. With your kind permission, the County Retirement Scheme Bill (Senate Bill No. 25 of 2014) is in the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. I am the Chairperson of this Committee and as we speak, Governors and all the other stakeholders are in Naivasha discussing and coming up with proposals on some of the submissions on which we had a conference which was officially opened by the Speaker at the Boma Red Court Hotel. One of the proposals which were arrived at during the conference was that a sub- committee be formed. It was formed and it is now being chaired by Mr. Wamwangi who is the Chairman of the Transition Authority (TA). The Sub-Committee is currently in Naivasha dealing with the same matter. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am of the view – with your kind permission – that this Bill be put in abeyance pending the outcome of the sub-committee that we gave 14 days to come up with a report. We shall then report to the House based on that report and see the way forward. I think that would be the best way to go about this instead of plodding through, not succeeding and then we leave it for six months. At the moment, I have in mind employees of county governments. They will suffer because up to now, they do not know where their money is being kept. It only The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
