    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we now come to the Constitutional Offices Remuneration. Let me talk a bit on this issue to remove any misunderstandings that may be there in the public mind. The issue of remuneration, particularly in the public sector, is a very sensitive one. Unfortunately, what has arisen in the public sector is lack of harmonization of salaries for those employed in the public sector. Both the Bomas and Wako drafts, because of this problem, had proposed that we must have a constitutional commission called Salaries and Remuneration Commission that will harmonize all the salaries in the public sector. What has tended to happen here is that each person in his own corner, would make a plea and get his or her salaries. Because of that, another body makes a plea and they get their salaries. If it is a new organization like, for example, the Parliamentary Service Commission (PARLSCOM), because it is new, their terms and conditions of service are far much better than the terms and conditions of my staff and, consequently, I have lost four draftsmen from my Legislative Drafting Department to the PARLSCOM. Some of them are earning more than the head of the Legislative Drafting Department in my Chambers. So, we have those grave disparities that are there in the public sector."
