    "content": "There are very many challenges and issues in the public service as we usher in the new commission. I believe it is the third since the inauguration of the Constitution. I hope and pray that the new commission addresses the challenges. The disparities both in the national and county governments need to be harmonised to ensure that all Kenyans who work in the public service are paid what is due for their labour, efforts, level of qualifications and experience. This should also apply to all other Arms of Government like Parliament or the Judiciary and even the military. People should be paid what they deserve when they wake up in the morning to go to work. The past two commissions have had a very antagonistic approach in dealing with Members of Parliament. They have demonised Members and made them look like illiterates who deserve nothing. As Hon. Junet and the Leader of the Majority Party have spoken, Members of Parliament do more than what they are supposed to do. In that essence, there must be an arrangement one of these days. I urge all of them to ask any member of the SRC to spend a full day or several days with any Member of Parliament when they are in their constituencies. They will then understand the trouble and challenges Members of Parliament go through. The SRC will then look at matters of Members of Parliament in a more organised manner that appreciates the burden of the job at hand and everything they do. This also applies to all other cadres of jobs. With those few remarks, I support their approval. I wish them well. Thank you."
