    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir for giving me this opportunity to support this very important Motion. Failure to remit these dues borders on criminality. It is very painful that a county government under the governor cannot remit dues meant for their employees. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the purpose of saving is for tomorrow. It is very painful that somebody has worked for close to 20 or 30 years. By the time you are 60 years old, you are sent home to retire and rest. Then suddenly, you realize that you have no savings at all. I am happy that Sen Osotsi, through his Committee, has brought that Motion. I think that this Motion should now be processed into a Bill because sometimes Motions are not compelling, they are just advisory. This will ensure that we create some punitive measures through which we can punish these rogue governors who are not remitting the dues of their people. It is very shameful and painful. Having worked in counties for close to ten years, I know the pain, the struggles and the frustrations that the county workers are going through, and these things revolve around corruption. It is pure theft because at times, this money is put into some fishy accounts and it generates a lot of interest for the benefit of a few errant individuals in those counties. I would implore upon this Committee, which is led by my brother, Sen. Osotsi, to develop a Bill through this Motion, which is supposed to bring in some very punitive measures to make sure that we punish---"
