Even as devolution takes shape, there are so many legislations that we need to put in place and one of them is this. I agree that Clause 7 with regard to the Board of Trustees and County Government Retirement Scheme should be included in the Bill. However, there is no representation in line with the Constitution, where we should have a representative outlook in this board of trustees to ensure that the marginalized groups, interest groups and young people are captured. At least they have taken care of gender balance and many other aspects, but we need to ensure that people or persons of interest that are envisaged in the Constitution are taken care of. We need to relook at this Clause to ensure that we cater for all shades of society where young people and many other groups are represented. The gender balance, the interest groups and the unions have been taken care of. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Clause 8 has ensured that the people appointed to this trustee board are people who have relevant experience. When you look at the professional requirements, they should be people who have at least five years’ experience in finance, law, economics and actuarial science. This will go a long way in ensuring that we have efficient, qualified and relevant people. What is important in the formation of the trustee is adherence to Chapter 6 of the Constitution on leadership and integrity.
