    "content": "(North Imenti, Independent.) Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I want to join my colleagues in supporting the Public Service Commission (Amendment) Bill of 2023. My Public Service Values and Principles Bill went through last year in November. It says that we need to have all facets of communities - the disabled, women, gender parity together with counties where people come from - specified. Already, the Bill has gone to the Senate. Hopefully, it will be law. I agree with Hon. Mejjadonk Gathiru that we need to specify 60 years as the retirement age. We should not leave it to regulations because that way, people will stay in offices. Hon. Mejjadonk Gathiru has not touched on a portion of this Bill. That is where, even if you pass the retirement age, you can be contracted. You can still be employed through a contract. There should be no reason to employ anybody on contract because they have special skills. Most of the youth have special skills. We should give space to the youth to come up. How are they going to develop any skills if we say that we are just going to be employing retirees on contract after retirement age?
