    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to seek two clarifications on this matter. The work of an MCA is set out, clearly, in the Constitution. This is just about the same role and mandate that this House and the National Assembly have which is to oversight, represent and legislate. First, I want the Chairperson of the Committee to clarify – they did an initial evaluation and they now want to carry out another one – since the county assembly rules are still the same ones, how does re-evaluation arise? The mandate, roles and duties are all set out clearly in the Public Finance Management (PFMA) Act and in the Constitution. What is necessitating the re-evaluation? The second issue is that the job of an MCA is the same as that of Members of Parliament and the Senate. I would like the Chairman of the Committee to give the Senate the parameters they are using in job evaluation. It is difficult for me to imagine that the job evaluation of an MCA will be done. These are people who work at night and represent people anywhere, anytime. The representation is done in churches, people’s homes and many other myriad of activities that do not fit into their job descriptions. You should evaluate a job that has got job description and where you can measure job involvement. I do not understand this. I would really appreciate if the Committee shared the parameters or tools that will be used by Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) to carry out job evaluation. The same parameters may be applied tomorrow to this House. It will be difficult for us to understand how it was done."
