    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to articulate on this Bill. In the school of thought I come from, I differ from Hon. Wamalwa by saying that we should give room to administration. Administration shall be; not should be. We need to have laws where things have to be done progressively. While making laws, we are giving room for people to violate our laws like you see in the Kenyan system now where people are working in acting capacity. There are people who have been working as CEOs or directors in acting capacity for more than even a year. Why do we put somebody working in the Government where the principles of governance are clear on acting capacity for more than a year? I support this Bill by saying that the time for an acting capacity should not be more than six months. Also, in a growing generation like Kenya, we have too many youths coming up. You cannot be telling us you are extending work for somebody up to 80 years because he has a special tool while we have universities training students on the same degrees. We should not have that room of saying that somebody should be requesting that his time to continue working be extended every time while others are outside there crying for the job. This Bill also gives a clear national guideline and also guides the county governments’ employment where they have to give returns of the number of workers working there. We have cases of ghost workers in the county governments for whom no annual returns are provided. The human resource charter in county governments is not streamlined. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support and note that it is a good Bill that should be implemented. We need to see results in terms of governance so that our country can grow.
