    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I beg to second the County Governments Retirement Scheme Bill (Senate Bills No. 6 of 2018) as ably moved by the Chairman of my Committee, the Senator for Nairobi City County. Allow me first to also congratulate you for being appointed to the Speaker’s Panel. It will allow us to get used to “Madam Speaker” without putting the “Sir” as some people have done today. You notice that the Mover of this Bill has gone into great details to move the Bill in such a way as to make it easy for all of us to debate. I second by just adding bits to what he has already said, the details of which are in the Bill. I would like to congratulate Sen. Sakaja for such great detail in moving the Bill. Of course, it affirms that he is an expert in this area and so, he can speak to this information. The name “county governments” that is implied there does not preclude employees of the national Government or any other organization. It gives us an opportunity, therefore, as we merge this existing schemes to make one, not to lose anything in the process. I hope that the smooth transition can be attained. I would like to dwell mostly on the formation of the Board of Trustees. At this point, I particularly pick on something that has become very common. We put in all requirements for Boards of Trustees that they should meet the requirements of leadership and integrity as set out in Chapter Six of the Constitution. This is common. Despite saying that we are surprised when we see the kind of people who end up in the trustees’ The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
