    "content": "they are doing so for a limited duration of time and the question of entitlement of benefits after the period of service is a question that can only be decided when the country has taken a global view of the country’s economic situation and its ability to sustain this burden. Given time, these officers are likely to accumulate in terms of numbers and the question will arise whether that is actually a valid, legitimate or viable way of utilising resources. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the benefits sought are substantial in the eyes and minds of the people of Kenya. They raise questions whether the taxpayers’ money should really be devoted to go towards contributing to rapid national economic development or to sustain luxurious consumption by some very high privileged Kenyans. It is for this reason that this Bill does not serve the interest of the country. It is not in the public interest. Under Chapter Six of the Constitution, this Bill does not espouse the spirit that the public officers are supposed to espouse which is service to the public and not service to self. Therefore, in those circumstances, I beg to oppose."
