    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, I totally agree with Hon. Zamzam from Mombasa. It is important for us to look at the private sector. We passed a Private Security Regulation Act. It is an Act of Parliament now. We even pegged how much the private security are supposed to be paid. It is very shocking that as we are speaking now, with the Act in place, the private security guards are being paid a meagre Ksh7,000 per month when the employer is asking for maybe Ksh35,000. It is important for the institutions which have been bestowed upon this, for the purposes of operationalisation of this Act, to see to it that those private guards are paid what we had agreed. It is not right for me or any employer to ask for Ksh35,000 and continue paying private guards only Ksh5,000 without consideration. This is key, as we talk about retirement in this Act, as proposed by Hon. Mejjadonk. We need to think critically about how we will be assisting our employees. With those few remarks Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support with an intention of bringing further amendments on the retirement age. Thank you."
