    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to comment on the issues raised by my colleagues on PSRA’s proposed increase of the minimum wage. As much as we agree with the concerns raised by Members, minimum wage is an ongoing discussion. It is good to agree that some of those big institutions like Equity pay their security officers as little as Ksh10,000. We proposed that security institutions be classified into different categories and be given different certification depending on their capacity. Large security firms like G4S that can afford the Ksh30,000 should be classified and certified differently, depending on their capacity just like NCAA does. This is a valid discussion. We should also acknowledge that a majority of those institutions pay extremely low compared to the profits they make. Our proposal is that PSRA classifies and gives different certification to different security firms. Big companies with capacity should pay the minimum wage. Those in villages and guard primary schools and small institutions should pay the minimum they can afford."
