    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am going to say that, but just want to agree totally with what Mr. Mutava Musyimi has stated. That is why, from the very beginning, I began by outlining the history of this Bill. I do not think Mr. Musyimi was here when I started speaking, but I did mention that in the Bomas Draft Constitution and the Wako Draft Constitution, we have a Salaries Review Commission, which is supposed to harmonise all these salaries within the public sector. I did refer to the nature that he has very ably, and more eloquently than myself, referred to. That is the disparity within the salaries amongst the various Government and public institutions. I did say that, as a result of that, the President set up a Permanent Salary Review Board to harmonise the salaries. That is why my entire presentation has been that this is part of the harmonization process. I do not want to repeat it, but I went on to state the fact that this Board was set up in 2001, and that there has been salary reviews for the disciplined forces, civil servants and teachers between then and now. In these salary reviews, the Permanent Salary Review Commission has also been involved. Therefore, ours, coming eight years later, is part of that exercise. I had actually gone into quite some length. I am glad that your contribution has now completely put into context, what has been said. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Constitutional Office holders covered by this Act are those mentioned in Section 104(5) of the Constitution of Kenya. In other words, not any public official mentioned is a Constitutional office holder. It is only those mentioned in Section 104(5). Subsection 1 of that section says: “There shall be paid to the holders of offices to which this section applies such salaries and such allowances as may be prescribed by or under an Act of Parliament.”"
