    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this debate. I support the Report. It is very good. They have recommended very good guidelines. The SRC has been acting in a very awkward manner. They want to be supervisors of other commissions. Just as other Members have said, there are many commissions that have been created by our Constitution. I think consultation is very important when it comes to acting on areas concerning other commissions. Even in our counties, members of staff from county governments are really crying over the SRC because it is controlling everything. I see SRC as lacking what to do. They want to create work for themselves. The Committee has done a very good job. This dictatorial kind of leadership should be stopped. The commission even wants to start controlling pension. That is the worst thing they can ever do. They have failed to regulate, guide and advise on salaries. Now they want to kill our old people when they retire. If you retire and you do not have pension or it is calculated at a lower rate, there is nobody to take care of you. The elderly have served the country. It is high time the SRC stopped working in isolation. They should know that they are supposed to consult during the course of carrying out their duties. Without public participation, they will not get anywhere. We have to look at even the way they have been operating. During the time the SRC have been around, they have messed the employees of Kenya. Even the Regulations they are using currently should be looked at. I think they may not have passed through Parliament. It is high time we looked at all Regulations that have been implemented without passing through Parliament. Even as regards the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC), we have challenges implementing it because its Regulations did not pass through Parliament. That is why we have a serious problem implementing the CBC. We have to be awake and try to look at all the regulations for the sake of the people and employees of Kenya. I support the Report."
