    "content": "Somebody wanted to find out what the word “teamwork” stands for. He found out that letter “T” stands for team spirit. If you go to some stations, do you find team spirit? Does one worker know where the other worker is? Letter “E” stands for energy. Public servants are all very energetic, but do they use that energy to serve the public? Letter “A” stands for alertness. They are not alert because I cited an example of a Lands office where you are told title deeds are not available. You should know the sequence of how people are receiving title deeds like in the Meru Lands Office; you bring in title deeds for people to collect when they apply for them. Letter “M” stands for motivation. They are highly motivated because the salaries of the public servants are reviewed almost all the time and they have a lot at their disposal. Letter “W” stands for work. Do they really work? You find that even in some hospitals, the doctor in charge is in a hospital three times a week. Does he work? Is there order? That is letter “O”. Letter “R” stands for readiness. Are they ready to work? Letter “K” stands for keenness. You find that if you apply a benchmark on how public service workers perform, you will find that performance may be below 40 per cent. Others who are ready to perform may not be able to perform because the people ahead of them were employed the wrong way. They were employed because they know the employers. They were employed because they come from the same tribe as the employers. They may be employed because they come from the same party. They may be employed for other reasons, including corruption. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill will check all that; it will also minimize corruption in the Public Service. This is a Bill that will help check whether public servants are honest. If you look at the land that has issues around Karen, how many kilometers is Karen from the Lands Office? These people are not able to say who the owner of the land is. This is because of the line up in that Lands Office. There is no transparency in that office. There is no honesty in that office. There is no integrity in that office. This Bill will check that behaviour in public service. To conclude, ghost workers will also be checked by this Bill; every time the Government is struggling with the wage bill and they say there are ghost workers. This Bill will help check how workers perform and how many workers there are. It can even The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
