    "content": "considered. Even where we allow people to retire at 60 years, let us take into consideration gender, regional balance and everything as long as we have people who are qualified for the different positions. The Bill also addresses the issue of officers in acting capacities. In most ministries, public and private offices, and counties, some people have been acting for more than six months, a year or even five years. This means that even for members of staff, productivity and commitment levels go down because you do not know what will happen to you next. You are never confirmed, and I wonder whether you add value to the institution. The recommendation that you can be in an acting capacity for only 12 months is a good one. I pray that counties and institutions with people working as casuals for more than six months should review their work policies and see how they can help those people. If you want people to be productive enough and give their best to any institution or office, you must confirm them and give them their job description. Acting capacity makes people not work or give their best and will make our country not do what we are supposed to do. In terms of performance and efficiency, we will always be dragged behind. With those few remarks, I support and commend the job well done by the Committee. Thank you."
