    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Motion and the amendment. It is fair that I mention that the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights had the privilege of meeting the TA yesterday. This issue is alive, serious and must be addressed as quickly as possible. From the admission of the TA, this matter will create what they call, an industrial strike if it is not addressed as quickly as possible. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support the sentiments of Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale on rationalisation of the members of the local authorities who were existing at the time. From the meetings we had with the TA, I am aware that this issue does not only affect the local authorities, but it also affects employees of the national Government in so far as counties are concerned. We are informed that governors have refused to accept some of these members who have been, in the words of the TA, seconded to these counties. Some of these staff are qualified. Therefore, it behoves the Senate to assist the TA in matters of this nature. In fact, I am aware, from our meeting with them yesterday, that this will form part of the discussions we are going to have in Mombasa when we meet at as a consultative forum. They are facing a lot of challenges, not only on this issue, but on many other issues. The Senate should take action as a result of what appears to be the discrimination of the members of the local authorities in attempting to offer employment to people in this The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
