    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This Bill addresses three key issues, that is, the retirement age, acting positions and contracts. I agree with all the Members, and specifically the Mover, that we need to amend clauses 2, 3 and 4, which address pertinent issues affecting employees’ service. I wish that the Mover considers Section 81 too which talks of age 50. If you leave it as it is, then you will not be doing justice to the Bill and we shall come back to amend it. I totally agree that we should set an age limit for retirement. We cannot leave this to regulations. Let us entrench it in the law. This way, it will be easier to enforce. The implementation and execution of this retirement age have been weakened because it is in the regulation but not in the law. There is no solid reason why people should retire at the age of 60 years. As much as we want to set an age limit, we should ask ourselves: What is the percentage of the Kenyan population that is assimilated in the employment sector? We need to be careful when making this law because we might eliminate the most productive age of the population. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
