    "content": "retrench people so that we become a rich nation. What became of the people who were retrenched? I know about two people who were working at Egerton University then. The moment they received their retrenchment letters, they collapsed and died. Now, rather than this being a blessing, it became a curse to people. Some of the things being done by our ably elected county governments are not really good. I have noted some of them. I have gone for interviews that had been advertised in the papers. Owing to the fact that some used to work for the local authorities, they were not absorbed. It is a tragedy that we do not consider people who have been working in these places before. I hear TA has called us to go and talk to them this Thursday in Kwale. I wish they had asked us to go to Kapenguria and relax under the trees on the slopes of Mount Mtelo instead of going to swim in the Indian Ocean all the time. We need to ask the TA who they are transiting. What have they done so far? They should be baby-sitting and taking care of the transition we are in. We do not want to lose these workers. If there is need for us to do away with them, we will do so with decency. If they are taken by the national Government and are retrained, they should also be prepared for retirement although it may appear to be forced. They should also be given good packages of retirement. I remember a man who was given good money after his retirement. This man went and bought a vehicle. The man had an accident and became mentally ill because no one had prepared him for this. Some men went into marrying many wives. If you do not prepare people for the social lives they will enter into as a result of the new dispensation, that will not be good. We will not also have played our role as the Senate. The Senate is here to see that devolution and counties are fully taken care of as we grow into the new system. I lay this amendment on the Table and ask Sen. Nanjira Omondi to second the amendment to the Motion. I beg to move."
