    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I agree. Already, the matter is before the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. But further, Parliament has just received the NSSF amendment Act. If the hon. Member for Homa Bay was to amend this Act, Section 21; then this House has the powers. When this Bill is re-introduced in September, it will look at it. But the Constitution stipulated the functions of a Cabinet Secretary. Each and every institution that falls within that portfolio has its own regulations; which again are passed by Parliament. So, the Cabinet Secretary has stated that in sacking Mr. Tom Odongo, he has used the law and he is saying that the same law had been used by Mr. Tom Odongo. If today he found greener pastures, better than NSSF, he could have written to the Cabinet Secretary and gave him three months notice within Section 20. So, the matter is seized of the Committee. The Chairman told me in the morning that he is summoning the Board and the Cabinet Secretary. I am sure the great Lady; my good friend from Homa Bay, will appear there. Please, I have only cited the law. If you are not happy with the law, this is the right forum to amend or repeal that law or enrich it."
