    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I want to state that I fully support this Bill because it gives hope to millions of Kenyans who have been seeking public service jobs in this country. As the Chair is aware, we have had a public service that has been wanting. It has to be modernised to be able to address the various concerns of Kenyans of the 21st Century. We have had a public service that has been overtaken by events. If you look at the technological advancement, you will find that the new Constitution and the many laws that we have passed in this House--- We needed to look at how best we can modernise and put the new public service into perspective. Among the things I have noticed are good for this country is to align the new public service with the provisions of the new Constitution. That will ensure that there is efficiency in service delivery to the millions of Kenyans. Another example is the internal relationship of various parts of the public service, the functions of the commission, the appointment of various holders of positions in the Commission, confirmation, transfer and promotion provisions that clearly needed to be outlined. Also of importance is the remuneration and disciplinary measures that needed to be clearly outlined. Among the various things that I also feel are critical is the code of conduct, particularly the provisions on the removal of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). I think it is something that we needed to look at. We are going to bring this so that we ensure that we address the issues and challenges we face in this country, especially now that we are fighting corruption. I fully support this Bill because I feel it is long overdue. With those few remarks, I say thank you and I fully support."
