    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. James Maina Kamau, the Member of Parliament for Kandara, wondered why the Government cannot go back to history and repeat what was done after Independence. A tripartite agreement which ended up with the Government and the private sector recruiting an additional 10 per cent of the unemployed people. Circumstances have changed. The economic circumstances have also changed. It is difficult to force the private sector to employ additional 10 per cent at a time when the economy is growing through such difficult times. So, as I mentioned, the Government is also bloated and we have been going through a process of retrenchment. However, we have actually stopped retrenchment right now, and are employing selectively more staff in the Government. So, I would like to urge the hon. Member to have that understanding."
