    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to add my voice to this serious debate. I want to commend the Committee for prioritising changes in the way that SRC operates. The SRC is the beneficiary of the 2010 constitutional review that was done by this country. That is what created this monster called SRC. Upon assuming office, I do not know whether by default or design, the SRC has decided that their main mandate is to review emoluments and benefits of Parliament, apart from other Kenyan workers. Throughout the world, there is nobody who is ready to give away what they already have. All the representatives of workers are advised that they must jealously guard what they have and fight for more. However, other than developing or sticking to their mandate which is to advise, the SRC has become a menace to workers’ organisations. Sometimes they even encroach into the field that is not theirs. The last time SRC did something to do with Parliament, they duped the Parliamentary Service Commission into believing that they had created house allowances for the parliamentarians, when indeed it is just one allowance they split into two and part of it became house allowance and one remained stand-alone. They want Kenyans to believe that parliamentarians now have a house allowance, their income has improved, and so on and so forth.
