    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Bill, but just like my colleague, Hon. Wamalwa, I have a problem with this way of making laws. I think our laws should be implementable; they should be for posterity. But they should not create administrative encumbrances. The administrators should have the flexibility in terms of running the institutions. There are two areas in the Bill that my honourable colleague has proposed. I congratulate him for his Bill. First of all, it is talking about the payment for higher ranks. Secondly, is about retirement age. For those who have worked in the Government - and many of us have - some of these things are administrative. That is why, other than the statutes that run organisations in form of Acts, those organisations will have regulations. It is easy to amend regulations to keep up with the times, but really not the Act because it becomes the fundamental and basis of law that governs that institution. For that reason, if we really want to build this country for posterity, and if we must allow the senior management in this country to run institutions with confidence, I think we should not legislate in vain."
