    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to advice against this Motion but, unfortunately, I am speaking on donated time. First of all, the security service is one of the services we share with the private sector. Who is going to train and has the facilities and capacity? It has to be the Government and it must be seen to be training for the entire economy. So, a mechanical bonding approach for 10 years is not responsive to productivity that is required in public service delivery performance. So, if we are going to apply this mechanically, that you work for us 10 years, training was just an opportunity, but then my performance under training and after training is evaluated by the whole economy. I should be accepted anywhere in Kenya even outside the rest of the world. I am still a Kenyan and I will still be contributing and you notice we send hundreds of billions back to Kenya from our experts outside the world. The Government should first accept its responsibility to train for the economy. Two, the Government must realize it is the productivity of the officers in service that counts, not the two years that they were given and the several hundred thousand shillings that were paid for their training period. We should manage the public service employees on the basis of you joining competitively and you can quit if you are not satisfied and come back when we have opportunities in the service. If the economy has opportunities elsewhere for my labour, I should be allowed to go and come back. I wish to advise against this. It is an old practice that is not consistent with modern human resource management and my brother, I urge the House that if you do not withdraw, they should reject it"
