    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am concluding. You should even add me more time because I am putting your future on a proper trajectory of national power. There are many countries with large economies buying this idea of the right to disconnect. Colleagues and friends, this Bill will be a life changer, it will transform, protect out right to family, ensure everybody is respected and ensure the growth of the many labour rights across the country. The right to disconnect Bill does not mean kupigasherehe at the expense of working because one must perform. It is to ensure that when you engage through electronic mails (e-mail), short message services (SMS) and any virtual engagement while working remotely, your employer must compensate you. It will be the same as overtime, when you sit beyond working hours in an office. I hope the National Assembly will agree with me and allow this Bill to be signed by His Excellency the President, Dr. William Ruto. It will effectively amend the Employment Act and giving Kenyans the opportunity to disconnect. In conclusion, I thank your Office. It has been of great help together with the Secretariat led by the Clerk. The Committee of Labour and Social Welfare - I have seen the Vice-Chairperson, Sen. Mbugua and a number of Chairpersons - has been very supportive. Your office has been very vital and supportive together with many other people who have given their support physically and virtually. As I reply, I request that under Standing Order No.66, the putting of the question for Division be deferred until appropriately guided by the House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those so many remarks, I beg to reply."
