    "content": "There is need for this provision to be very clear in terms of what it means. This is something which has always been said. We have heard about harmonisation of salaries in the public sector several times. The reason as to why this has not been achieved is that the criterion is not very clear. Details like educational qualifications, field of study, the experience that somebody has had and the time spent on the job must be taken into account. There should be more information than we have here. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are those people who are not employed by the Government, but they are very productive in whatever they do. Some of the workers may not be very much trained, but they produce so much that goes into the growth of the economy. When the Government created the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), we had two categories of workers in the same institution. Something similar happened in the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). There were those who were recruited directly from the Government and those who were recruited privately after the organisations were created. There were big variances in the salaries of the two categories of workers. The affected employees could not complain because if they complained, they would be dismissed. I do not know whether this has been rectified."
