    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also support the amendment that tries to ensure that there is proper succession plan within the entire public service. It is not that we are creating employment opportunities for the young people by ensuring that we retire old ones at 60 years. Public service is a small area where not all Kenyans can be employed. We also have to look at the Big Four Agenda which the President has given this country. Within that, there is an aspect of manufacturing and industrialisation which creates more employment opportunities. As a House, we are called upon as a nation and as a Government to ensure that we rise and support the innovations, creativity within our youth population so that we can create more employment in the informal and private sector. I will also be seeking an amendment to this Bill during the Committee of the whole House. If we want to cap the retirement age of people within the Civil Service at 60 years, then in our elective positions, we should also cap such that every person beyond 60 years should not vie for any elective post. I support."
