    "content": "I have two reasons for seconding and supporting Hon. Benjamin Gathiru’s Bill. One, we have a country where people are appointed to positions when they are over 80 years. Those are people who have worked for more than 74 years in the public service. We also have organisations where you will find someone working at an acting capacity for more than seven years. A good example is, last year, where the whole top management of the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) were on acting capacity. That means that those graduates who have been tarmacking everyday looking for jobs cannot get employment, considering that one is working in an acting position while still holding another position in the same organisation. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I know that many youths are looking upon us to see the policies and laws that we are putting in place to make sure that they get employment. Since the Motion that I brought to this House caused a lot of controversy, and there was objection from many members and experts who said that this would raise the pension issues, I know Hon. Benjamin Gathiru’s Bill will pass with no objection because I believe that all Members of Parliament believe that unemployment is a problem."
