    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. As I said yesterday, my concern is exactly what Hon. Oluoch has said. When you look at Paragraph 6 (i), as you transfer cash and assets to the new Authority within the first one year, we do not indicate that the staff will be transferred. Even though Leader of the Majority Party has said that it would be in one year, it is not in the Bill. I am proposing that we amend the First Schedule by deleting paragraphs 2, 3 and 4. Then, we substitute them with an additional statement which says— “The officers and inspectors appointed for the administration of the Fund on the appointed day shall be deemed to be officers and inspectors appointed by the Authority under Section 17 of the Act.” This will firm up the position the Leader of the Majority Party has mentioned. It will give the staff confidence and assurance that within the first one year, they will be staff of the Authority which will use its own internal appraisal and evaluation system to determine who is fit to remain and exit. We can come up with a package to encourage those who are exiting to go home with. Even though the Leader of the Majority Party has assured them, the Bill does not capture them. They are not assured of the first one year. My amendment is meant to give them the assurance that within one year, they will be staff of the Authority. I submit, Hon. Temporary Chairman."
