    "content": " Thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this amendment Bill. I congratulate Hon. Mejjadonk for bringing a very important amendment to this House. I support that nobody should serve in an acting capacity for more than six months because such a person lacks stability in his or her position of work. Nobody appreciates walking into a job every day not knowing if he or she will be the person serving in that position tomorrow. As a country, we can keep complaining about institutions not performing well yet the lack of stability of persons serving in acting capacity is a reason for poor performance. A person serving in an acting capacity may not be able to make long-term decisions for an institution. These long-term decisions eventually affect the whole country. Equally, the person may not know how long they will be holding the position in an acting capacity. This affects the projection of their career because of the uncertainty of not knowing how best they should perform. Thus, they end up not performing at their optimum. It is also an issue of increased workload to the person working in an acting capacity yet we have not run short of people who can perform and work in Kenya. With those few remarks, I beg to support the Public Service Commission (Amendment) Bill. Nobody should serve in an acting capacity for more than six months. Thank you.
