    "content": "From the general look of this Bill, the objective is to tidy up how we go about employment, in relation to the opportunities we give to people who serve different positions in this country. What happens is that there are so many laws out there that speak to this issue. However, this one seeks to find a way of tidying up very critical issues. The first issue which is very important is people earning acting allowance after serving for over six months. In Nairobi County, we had a case of a Member of the County Assembly (MCA) acting as the Speaker of the county assembly. During the time when the Member was acting, he was receiving full perks as an MCA and speaker. Such a law will curb some of these issues. We understand if you are given an opportunity to serve for six months, you have already proven your mantle and what you are able to do. So, if you cannot prove that in six months, you might never prove it even if given six years. For this reason, I support what Hon. Benjamin Gathiru is trying to do. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I see someone obstructing your view."
